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.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
