Best greek yogurt? Any one's blood sugar ever dropped a little?

Can you recommend a Greek Yogurt?

Today is my first day on soft foods...it didn't go as well for me as I had hoped. It's really the first day I have felt bad or not been able to meet some of my requirements. In fact I think even tho, I was getting all my liquid in, I was bordering on becoming a little dehydrated and possibly having a little low blood sugar...long story to say...that even tho I didn't have any trouble swallowing my new soft foods by the end of the day, I realized I was still quite a bit shy on Protein.

I felt so crummy, only as of this afternoon (it's hot in Texas this week) (and I don't guess I've paid enough attention to getting Any carbs so I'm probably having big time ketosis) that this evening, I grabbed a Greek yogurt I had in the fridge. I started eating it before I realized that even tho it has 14 gr of protein, it also has 22 carbs! Eek!

Do you eat something lower in sugar? I think this was just a Kroger brand. They usually have a great variety of yogurt...but surely there is a sugar free version!

Honestly, I went ahead and ate it, and I do think I feel better!

Yogurt is tricky because some are super high in carbs/sugar. The Danon light and fit greek has 9 g of carbs and 7 g of sugar which is why I bought it in the first place LOL. I haven't tried the Fage but I'll definitely check it out! I love new food ideas!

Edit: I'm 4 months out and I can consume 90-120 g a day of carbs (max) but I usually stay in the 50-70 range.

I do the Chobani plain with a little bit of liquid stevia mixed in. The Fage is good too.

My fav is Fage 0 plain. I add Splenda and berries. My current fav is blueberries.

A tip on the Fage yogurt that comes with the side of fruit...just let the fruit lie on the top - don't stir it in...I think it tastes better that way (stirring changes the consistency or something)...and it suggests it on the side of the carton, as well, so I guess I am not the only one that thinks this :)
