Yoplait greek VS Chobani Greek Yorgurt



Recommended Posts

Do they all have Sucralose? Now that I have beaten the Soda monster, I don't want to replace it with fake sugar.

I was told that most of the light yogurts have aspartame in them. Fake sugar. I was told we could only have stevia. Is this not true after surgery?

Depends on your doc, not an issue with mine.

At my pre-sugery meeting with the hospital staff they said to get a few Chiobani-Champions. They are the small ones for kids.

I'm thinking maybe I will learn how to make my own. It's insanely easy as my mom always did it in the 70's.

Found the Dannon today at Stop&Shop in peach and cherry. It seems like a better choice - higher protein; lower sugar. My new yogurt! :-)

Yoplait Greek - 10gr protein; 9gr sugar

Dannon Greek - 12gr protein; 7gr sugar

The Chobani Little Champions are the perfect size for post-op. They're smaller and easier to finish a whole one. But, on the down side, there are very few flavors available.

I love the Dannon Light and Fit Greek yogurt. Today I found two flavors I want to try: pineapple and the Key Lime pie. I already like blueberry, peach, and strawberry. I'm so glad they make this yogurt in so many flavors so we have a nice variety. This brand was suggested by my dietician.

Love the Dannon Light and Fit Greek yogurt. My nut suggested these to me. They come in so many favors. The coconut vanilla, key lime and plain vanilla would be good soon after surgery. All very good!

      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.

      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!
