Okios Greek Yogurt Dip. That's right, before surgery I was a big dip junkie, I ate it on almost anything:-) Obviosuly it was something I had to give up because well it's not very nutritious BUT recently I discovered Okios greek yogurt dip. I think it's been our for a while but I told myself that stuff can't be any good until the other day when I was at the store and had a craving I just couldn't kick so I broke down and bought some of the french onion and for comparrison (for my husband's sake) I also bought the Dean's french onion and to both of our suprise...WE BOTH perferred the Okios to the Deans A serving is 2Tlbs. and only only contains 25cal, 1g fat, 2 carbs, 1g sugar and 2 g Protein.....Yipppeee I never thought I would be so excited about something as silly as this but it's just another little thing that keeps me on track for the long haul of a lifestyle change:-) I thought I would share with everyone just in case you're a dip junkie like me:-) I know I'm a nerd:-) Enjoy.

Check it out for yourself

Yum, this should go well with my deep fried crinkle potato chips :P jk

OK, so what do you stick in this tub of mush? Sorry, I had a bad experience with a couple of greek yogurt cups and I cringe when I think about it? :rolleyes:

2muchfun....literally cracking up right now.

I dip my cauliflouer in it and use it in my turkey rollups....yummo. Im thinking about putting it on my chicken breasts as a marinade before baking or maybe ill just spoon it..lol.

You should really give it another try. I've only tried the FO so I can't vouch for the others;)

Ill check back with you next week for your review.

My nutritionist organized a shopping trip with her patients. We found this dip and she gave a hearty approval for it. I bought the onion flavored one as well. Yummy. I eat it with a couple of multi grain crackers or some crunchy veggies.

Cauliflour, broccoli, I use on turkey rollups and am considering using it on chicken breasts like a marinade and baking. You could really have it with just about anything.

I mix the powdered hidden valley ranch in my greek yougurt. 23g Protein per cup ( I know who eats a cup) but still its Protein and a healthy dip. I also have found chips made from pinto Beans and they actually taste good :)

Well here in Texas one of our major grocery stores is HEB. They carry chips made from pinto Beans, white beans and black beans. All 3 are pretty good and corn free, gluten free, no trans fats, and cholesterol free. They are called beanitos and have a website. Beanitos.com. They are kinda pricey, but if you actually eat a single serving (yes I actually eat real servings now :) it's not to bad.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
