another vote for Dannon Oikos Triple Zero coconut creme - it's fabulous! I also like Fage coffee-flavored, but it's hard to find.

I love Yoplait 100 Calorie Greek Yogurt. The banana Caramel flavor is omg! 12g Protein, 100 calories, 12 carbs.

I also eat Activia Light. As my surgeon wants me to do at least one a day, for the Probiotics. 4g Protein, 60 calories, 8 carbs.

I like Oikos brand, I'm going to have to try that! .

@OKCPirate Do you mix a whole scoop of Protein powder in it or half?

I really liked the Dannon LIght & Fit Greek Key Lime flavor. Also, one time I added a teaspoon (I think it was a teaspoon) of the sugar free Fat Free Jello pudding mix (cheesecake flavored) to my Fage 0% and a little sugar free Raspberry Syrup (Torani). It was pretty good. A little too think so I think I would use less pudding mix next time. Tomorrow I want to try a little PB2 and some chocolate Jello pudding mix - or chocolate Protein powder (which sounds pretty good too).

Try mixing plain FAGE with the Starbuck Via instant pouches. They are strong so I use anywhere from a third to a quarter packet to every 4 ounces of yogurt.

Thank you for all the ideas everyone! I just ordered PB2 and chocolate PB2 so I was thinking to try that with plain yogurt.

Another idea a friend from work gave me was buying plain greek yogurt and adding a squirting of the crystal light flavor concentrates (the ones that you add to water). Just figured I'd share, but I haven't given it a shot yet

I never considered adding Protein powder to the Fage Greek Yogurt. That would be delicious with some good tasting Protein Powder. I'm going to order the Syntrax Matrix Peanut Butter Cookie flavor. If I mixed it with the Fage Greek Yogurt it would be like a dessert with tons of Protein.< /p>

My only issue with yogurt is that I have to be cautious about eating it too frequently. It can be a slider, so I have to eat it slowly and sparingly. It's so easy for me to eat a lot at one time if I'm not paying attention. That is why I dislike that it only stays good for about a week after you open it.

I mix it with Syntrax matrix PB Cookie! It's wonderful. Also with the chocolate and the mint chip one.

I also mix in SF Torani syrups, fresh fruit, blend in in shakes into oatmeal and use it in salad dressings.< /p>

Ok I am totally having that for Breakfast tomorrow!!! Thank you! Never thought of that one!

If you like the taste of Jello, I like to do this.....I mix up 1 pkg of sugar free Jello with a cup of hot Water and stir till the jello is dissolved. Then slowly mix it into a cup of plain Greek yogurt and then refrigerate it. The texture is like "whipped" yogurt and the flavor is amazing! My favorites are lemon and peach. Orange is good too.

Half (I also put a half in my coffee in the morning)

BTW, I mixed plain Greek yogurt in my Tomato Soup instead of sour cream. You can substitute it for nearly everything you want that creamy flavor in.

Agreed. I use FAGE in place of mayo, in place or sour cream and occasionally I mix a tsp with my egg before scrambling. It makes for a nice, creamy egg.

The best yogurt I have found is FAGE 0%. I don't have a container of it right now, but I think one cup contains 23 grams of Protein, 12 carbs, and 120 calories. Please correct me if I am wrong. The downside to this stuff is that it is quite expensive and only stays good for a week after you open it.

I only buy FAGE 0% Greek yogurt. I eat it pretty much daily. In fact, I buy it by the case from Whole Foods. (6 pts @ $6.99ea - 10% case discount). I add it to my Protein shakes in the morning, use it instead of sour cream and even as a mayo replacement. I like that the only ingredients are milk and yogurt cultures. Nutrition breakdown is Calories 130, Fat 0, Carbs 9gm, Protein 23gm, Sugar 9gm per cup.

As for add ins, I use pretty much anything on hand; fresh fruit, almond butter, a drizzle of raw honey, and on the rare occasion I buy flavored Protein Powder, I'll add a scoop of that and mix with the yogurt and then sit in the fridge for a bit to chill to the consistency of pudding.

Me too, I find it the best and it's really lovely :

So one whole package of jello with one cup of Water for one cup of yogurt? That seems like a lot, but I'm gonna give it a shot right now!

If the proportions are different let me know and I will retry LoL

      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.
