Sugar Free Yogurt? Does it exist?

[Michelle1972 0]

I am 14 days post op. Meeting with Dr for the first time tomorrow and am going to advance to "mushy/puree" stage.

On my list it says sugar free yogurt? Does that even exist? I heard the Greek Style is good but its def got carbs?

Any suggestions?

I'm sure there are some carb control ones out there but just not sure.

Thanks in advance for help.

I was told Yogurt has natural sugar in it. I believe they meant no "added" sugar. food lion carries a brand with no added sugar

Well as yogurt is dairy it contains lactose which of course is a type of sugar. But it is the added sugars you need to look out for. There are plenty of yogurts available that are artificially sweetened.

Be careful with Greek yogurt. It tastes divine, is unsweetened but it is also very high in fat. I am sure it is Ok in small quantities but you don't want to eat too much of it.

My nutritionist said I could eat Yoplait Light Fat Free yogurt. I love the Very vanilla flavor. Blueberry is good too.

Ask your doctor what he recommends.

I have two brands of Greek yogurt in my fridge now.

Brown Cow, which food Lion carries, and Oikos, which I've found at Whole Foods, Kroger's, and Walmart.

Both brands come in fat free. They both have 6g of sugar and 15g of Protein in their small 5.3 oz container. I buy the plain, and sweeten it with a pack of Stevia. I also might add some fresh or frozen berries with a dash of vanilla extract. There's a whole thread with Greek yogurt recipes, that you might want to check out if you get the okay from your dr.

Greek yogurt will give you needed Protein. Just buy the plain and add some pureed fruit to get some flavor. Greek yogurt is much higher in protein than other yogurts. And, everyone needs a few carbs in their diet on a daily basis.

Not at all the case, I am eating Oikos zero fat Greek yogurt at this very moment.

I did Atkins for the longest time, and when I would get a craving for yogurt (you sometimes crave the healthy stuff when you are eating nothing but sausage links and scrambled eggs!) I would always get Dannon Light and Fit Carb Control. I think they have about 4 carbs if I remeber correctly, and its a small portion, which is perfect for the band and it tastes pretty good! Now, I eat a lot of Yoplait Lights. They have so many different flavors that you can always mix it up and keep from getting bored of the same old vanilla or strawberry. I am a big fan of the Orange Creamsicle and Key Lime Pie flavors. Not to mention its a brand thats always on sale at the grocery stores!

I like yogurt, but never had luck with it. It always seemed like an empty calorie food. I would be still hungry after consuming one. When they are on sale, I buy them, but its hard to have the will power to only have one! When I get to the mushy stage, i think I will only buy 1 at a time
