It has more carbs than Protein so my answer would be "no".

I can't find any sugar free or low sugar you hurts in Canada? Stuck with plain Greek. Any leads?

Try adding your own pureed /strained fruit.

No it's lousy. And sf Popsicles are a waste of 15 empty calories each . No sense in reading labels if you don't know what they mean or the impact to your plan.

That yogurt is lousy? I tried to get one without sugar, fat and low calorie. It's sweetened with Splenda. I won't eat it if it's bad for me , I just don't know which brand to buy. I would love some recommendations. I live in Canada.

Have considered Greek Yogurt. It is higher in Protein so that makes it a better option. Be careful that it also doesn't have too much added sugar.

A suggestion for the popsicles.. get some popsicle molds and make your own with Crystal Light. That is what I did when I got sick of the same basic flavors of the Popsicle brand.

Is this yogurt okay to eat?

Before I give you my take (opinion) on this yogurt, I'd like to suggest that you make an appointment with your bariatric RD to discuss how to make good food choices, how rigid to be when you make them and how to read nutrition labels and ingredients lists. I'm going on the belief that your surgery career is young and feeling a little overwhelmed and cautious. You wouldn't be alone in that. Better to get some peace of mind and confidence than to feel unhappy.

Whatever I write below is opinion, but opinion that has served me well. Beware of opinions from many quarters. Loads of input from many people may might make your woozy. Another reason to run things by your RD -- not only the facts, but, again, guidance on making choices on your own.

Also keep in mind that I'm not advocating foods that you haven't been cleared for yet. That is, if you're to be on liquids, don't grab a sandwich just because it will make you mouth happy. It probably would do that, but all the rest of you will mutiny.

It has more carbs than Protein so my answer would be "no".

I'm going to disagree with the knowledgeable Inner Surfer Girl on this one. The yogurt you're asking about, approx 4 oz, is only 40 calories. You'll be eating one container, not dozens. If it makes your mouth and your mind happy and will help you stick to your overall plan, I say "Go for it."

can't find sugar free Popsicles....only no sugar added and I am not sure if that is the same thing???

Check the ingredients list. If sugar, corn Syrup and such things aren't listed, sugar isn't a concern. If the popsicles contain real fruit, such as the yogurt, they contain the natural sugar of the fruit rather than the added sugar you want to avoid.

And sf Popsicles are a waste of 15 empty calories each .

Empty, to be sure, but only 15 calories. Again, you're eating one, maybe two, not a lifetime supply at a sitting. If the mouth is happy and a yen is satisfied, I still say "Go for it."

When I plan my meals and Snacks, I consider not only my daily calorie limit and goals for Protein, et al., but I also take into account that I don't want to feel under a sentence of punishment and deprivation. Losing weight should be joyful on all fronts.

Greek yogurts are high in Protein.. My preference is oikos either the regular or triple zero ones..
