Does anyone know if yogurt and frozen yogurt are interchangeable? I dislike the texture of yogurt but I do like the frozen stuff.:)

Have you tried the strained Greek yogurts that are popping up in grocery stores lately? The two brands I can find out here in WA are Fage and Oikos - they each have ~20g Protein per half cup, are pretty low in carbs, and their texture is quite different from typical yogurt. I like the 0% Fage, but their 2% variety isn't much higher in fat and I've heard it has a better texture.

There's another brand in our area - I think it's Greek Gods? - but it doesn't have the high Protein so I haven't tried it yet.

I like mine mixed half and half with Kashi GoLean and/or Fiber One Cereal and a little honey.

Frozen yogurt is to yogurt what ice cream is to milk. Which is to say a) it's not yogurt and :eek: it's not really that healthy.

For example:

Yogurt with fruit, no sugar added, 6 oz. has:

100 calories

Fat 0 gm

Cholesterol <5mg

Sodium 85 mg

Potassium 250 mg

Total carbs 19 g

Sugars 14 g

Protein 5g

Calcium 20% of daily value

Frozen yogurt will vary depending on the brand and flavor, but Ben & Jerry's Cherry Garcia (which I happen to have in my fridge) for a 1/2 cup serving has:

160 calories

Total fat 3g

Saturated 2g

Cholesterol 15mg

Sodium 60mg

Total carbs 31g

Dietary Fiber 1g

Sugars 20g

Protein 4g

Calcium 15% of DV

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
