I don't think sugar free yogurt exists. Even if you get plain yogurt you will still see sugar in the nutritional facts because yogurt has lactose in it. Lactose is a form of sugar. Anything ending in ose is...fructose, lactose, glucose. Same goes for cheese, milk, etc. Plain yogurt will have no added sugar though...like the ones with fruit added which would be adding fructose which would up the sugar content.

There is no sugar free yogurt because dairy products have natural sugar. What they mean is yogurt with no added sugar. They are usually ones with fruit or fruit flavoring. You can buy plain and add in your own fresh fruit. Things like natural applesauce and mashed bananas work good in the puréed stage. You can also add vanilla or other extracts with a little artificial sweetener.

I am not sure if you have a Kroger in your area but they have whats called Carb Master Yogurt. Only 4 carbs, 8 grams of Protein and 60 calories. Several different flavors. They now have Carb Master milk and lite greek yogurt. All designed to have more protein than standard brands.

Yup, milk products have natural sugars.

Just get plain yogurt. That's what I bought for post-op and it worked well. My nutritionist wanted me to eat greek yogurt because 1 cup has 22g of Protein (although I couldn't eat a whole cup at a time post-op) and she had me Water it down a little when I was in liquid phase.

Fage 0% greek yogurt is my favorite. The others already covered the sugar aspect, but it is really high in Protein, though it's thick, so you'll probably need to wait till you are at the full liquid stage. I still find it very filling at 4.5 months out.

Yes plain fage yogurt make a smoothie by adding 2 ice cubes, 2 frozen strawberries, 6 frozen blueberries, 1 splendia pack and a banana about the size of a pinky and blend

Right you are! If you make your own yogurt, you actually get less lactose than store bought because you control how long the yogurt processes and the yogurt cultures eat up a good portion of lactose.. Store bought yogurt processes for less time and also frequently has added starches for thickness so more sugars. Straining the whey off of yogurt to make greek style yogurt will also reduce the lactose in your yogurt because the whey has a higher proportion of lactose in it than the rest of the yogurt... Oh my gosh, I'm such a nerd.. why do I know this stuff?

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
