Greek yogurt ! Help



Recommended Posts

Ok so I've always loved Greek yogurt , but always get fruit flavors , it never even crossed my mind , until after surgery , that's I couldn't have those because of the sugar. I can't even stand the plain, it's so sour, like instant gag! Anyone have any ideas! I can only stomach the vanilla, but as this is not as good for me as the plain!!! Help!!!

Have you tried the Fage 0% greek yogurt? I felt the same as you, but love this particular variety and brand.. You could put a pack of sweetener in the yogurt if you needed that.

I also like to mix this yogurt with fresh fruit. The fruit gives it a great, sweet taste.

I eat Chobani or Fage plain Greek yogurt and flavor it with Torani SF syrups or Protein powders. Your flavor choices and level of sweetness are nearly endless with no added sugar.

I also like mixing it with fresh fruits....peaches, strawberries, blueberries, mangos, etc. more suger, but not as bad as the pre sweetened/flavored ones.

Have you tried Dannon light and fit? Their carb count is not high and they come in a lot of great flavors. Also, Yoplait now has some that are low carb count, I believe around 8 carbs.

I too think the Fage is smoother and not as sour. I've mixed in sweetener packets, Torani SF Syrup, unsweetened preserves (I get Smuckers-blueberry or strawberry). I've mixed in Protein powder too which can be yummy. Since I'm a little further out, I have also mixed in some fresh fruit. Lately I've been on a Dannon light & fit greek vanilla kick

Hi -- Choboni 100 has the fruit flavors, but lowest sugar of all the flavored and still has the Greek style extra Protein. Whenever they're on sale for 10 for $10, I stock up. Now, at only 2 ounces per meal, one cup will last a long time!

I sprinkle a little sugar-free Jello over it. You can also add things like Splenda and there are stevia flavors you can buy. I've mainly seen them online (Amazon) but I haven't tried them yet.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
