Very filling yogurt



Recommended Posts

I crush up some granola bars in my Chobani Greek yogurt and mix it all up. It fills me as if i had a full meal. Anyone has any other recipes or idea they use with Chobani? I can't get enough of this yogurt!

I don't eat chobani ( the ones I have found all seem to be high in sugar) but I do use the Fage 0% plain and I add a bit of berries and some Kashi go lean crunch Cereal on top.

In the first few weeks post op I used to add some PB 2 to the plain yogurt so that could have something that wasn't so sweet. Mixed in some sugar free jelly and its like PB&J without the bread.< /p>

I am also addicted to chobani (pineapple), I just recently started adding some quaker granola Cereal (about 1/8 cup) and I feel soooooo full that I think I will continue to have it plain, I just love chobani pineapple yog :D

I eat my Greek yogurt with whole flax seeds. I usually eat Chobani or Oikos. The flax seed gives it a healthy crunch with out alot of added fat and calories and the most important part...cures constipation!!

Try Bare Naked Granola (low sugar) instead and adding 1/2 cup of blueberries to blueberry yogurt. That was my favorite Breakfast before surgery...

I haven't tried wheat germ but the flax seed is great in Oikos or Chobani...love those but is the sugar content too high? I don't have any issues with dumping but wasn't sure if maybe it's too much sugar??

I also like the Yoplait Greek - it is great to have all of this variety. Greek yogurt really is awesome to have as part of our high Protein Snacks and meals.

I hate the texture of yogurt but found a way around it by either throwing a little Cheerios in it or I take 1/2 a Protein Bar and crumble it up in there. I put a little SF Torani Carmel Syrup in too and most of the time that's Breakfast.< /p>

These are great ideas! Thank you! I've only just been able to hold down solids on Monday and I need ideas since I'm starting from scratch.

Have you ever tried Greek style cottage cheese? It is from Kemp's....I think the fruit added ones taste too sweet, but the one with cucumber or the plain is very good. They have 19 gm of Protein in 5.7oz.

I'm on pre op, but I discovered a great way to eat the plain yogurt. I buy the triple berry frozen blend, thaw it, stir some into the yogurt with some sweetener, yummy!! Tastes like a rich dessert.

I add bare naked vanilla granola mix into my yogurt. I hate the taste by itself. I found one yogurt that gives you a side of pistachios and mini pieces of chocolate it was a good change up and interesting combination.

      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.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
