Just wanted to share something I found today. Dannon makes GREEK yogurt and 1 5oz cup has 12g protein! I bought it at Walmart today, they were $1 each......got strawberry and blueberry!! I'm not too crazy about the Protein Drinks and this is double the Protein of any other yogurt I've found.

I've never tried those. I eat Chobani plain non-fat with 1 packet of splenda. It has 18g Protein in a 6oz container

I also really like Chobani. I am in full liquid stage right now and I have a modified Chobani as my Protein for Breakfast. I add a couple tablespoons of vanilla Protein Powder, two teaspoons benefiber, Chobani 0% fat with fruit, 1 Tablespoon milk, some spendra and mix in a small tupperware with a stick blender. This makes the yoghert more liquidy (greek yogurt is thicker than reg.) and the fruit is minced. My favorite part of the full liquid diet. I would say it's about 25 grams protein.

Love Chobani all flavors...hate yoplait greek yogurt..Brown cow is good, but the one I like best of all is my homemade greek yogurt. It is SO easy to make contains no additives and its so much cheaper than $1 - $1.69 for a 6oz cup. I make 1 gallon every sunday morning takes me about 15 mins and I eat it every morning with fresh or frozen sugar free fruit (some frozen fruit has sugar in it) I'm amazed at how full it keeps me!!

My mother is first generation Greek American. She absolutely refuses to try the greek yogurt in stores today because she hated the version her mother made. Did I say hated I meant hated with a passion. :(

Your local Kroger grocery store (like King Soopers, Dillons, City Market, etc.) carries CARBMaster yogurt. A small container has 12 g Protein, 1.5 g fat, 3 g carbs, and it's priced between $0.33 and $0.50, depending on whether you can catch it on sale or not.

It tastes, in my opinion, so much better than greek yogurt. Each morning for Breakfast, I have one of those and a light cheese stick, and get a total of 20 g Protein.< /p>

I too like the greek yogurt, but really watch the amount of sugar in them. I just bought the Kroger CarbMaster with on 3grams of sugar.

I agree, the flavored greek yogurt has too much sugar. I prefer to buy the plain and add my own fresh or frozen s/f fruit.

If it's a workout day (which most days are) sometimes I'll add a small amount of Bob's Red Mill Muesli. Higher in carbs, but it's whole grain and I burn it off fairly quickly.

In MA, NH area Demoulas and Marketbasket (both owned by two parts of the same Greek family) carry Chobani for $1 a piece. Other stores like Shaws and Stop and Shop have it for like $1.50. You can also by variety packs at costco which equals $1.00 a piece.

Personally I don't worry about the suger content. I exercise every day and decided if I am eating 0% fat yogurt I am allowed the carbs. Especially when I am staying under 800 calories a day.

I mix a pile of chocolate Protein Powder with my plain non fat yogurt and it is almost like chocolate pudding!, its a loaded Protein deal for sure somewhere in the 50's. Kind of a slider so I dont do it very often but when the urge for chocolate hits you HAVE to do something!

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
