Does 'plain' yogurt mean it can be flavored? Like yoplait red velvet cake fat free yogurt?

Hmmm ... not sure exactly what the question is.

Plain yogurt has a very neutral flavor. Yes, you can add anything you wish to it as a lot of people will add fresh berries and the like to it.

I suppose you could blend in a slice of red velvet cake, if you wanted to ...

If you purchased yoplait red velvet cake fat free yogurt, then it is not a 'plain' yogurt. But even with that, you could still add anything you wanted.

What is your concern?

I'm starting my stage 2 diet today and on my list it says 'plain fat free yogurt'. I bought a yoplait fat free yogurt with red velvet cake flavoring. Is this ok? Or am I only suppose to eat flavorless yogurt? Lol

Plain yogurt means plain like white color.....I did not eat plain. I ate flavored like cherry or something but just try not to eat the chunks of fruit. The only issue my doc says is the sugar in the flavored yogurt is harder for stomach to handle....good luck

nope. Plain is plain as plain, meaning the unflavored stuff. the fat free whatever is still not going to be the ideal choice because of the sugar, not the fat.

Try the greek yogurt less cals and sugar and more Protein than yoplait. Plain meaning there is no flavor they say this because the pieces of fruit can be harder to digest thats why they suggest plain. But as long as your looking at the label and getting something very low in sugar and calories than you should be fine.

How does anyone eat plain flavorless yogurt? Yuck.

The same way you will be eating many things that are not necessarily the tastiest thing from now on. You have to find ways to cope. You are eating for different reasons now. sugar will not aide you in your journey to lose weight. I am not one of these people who are going to tell you that you are going down a terrible path or whatever if you have some flavored yogurt but do consider this - if you cant stick to the rules now as far as sugar goes how are things going to go for you later on?

I'm guessing it probably means no chunks but sugar is a consideration as well.

      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.

        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.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
