CarbMaster or Kroger yogurt



Recommended Posts

My doctor is recommending Kroger yogurt or carbmaster. I live in Rockville Center NY and can't find this. Does anyone know where I can get this, or recommend a yogurt that is similar? I just started the 2 week prep. Surgery is Oct. 14.

Thanks!

The reason it is recommended is it tastes decent and is low sugar/low carb and has pretty good flavors. Around here we have Fred Meyer stores that carry Kroger brand

It's a bit of a science project for me. Too many ingredients I can't/don't eat. However, I did a quick google and lot of people seem to like it. If you can't locate it perhaps have a conversation with your nutritionist about other ways to maintain a low carb, low sugar diet which is what he seems to be recommending.

How close is it in macros to Oikos Triple Zero Greek Yogurt ?

I freaking love the Oikos Triple Zero Greek. I've yet to try a flavor that wasn't outstanding.

CarbMaster "yogurt" is a Frankenfood . . . they aren't even legally allowed to call it yogurt because it doesn't have enough live cultures and other characteristics of yogurt. You'll notice the containers say "dairy blend" on them, not yogurt. But if your doctor recommends them, I guess no harm in giving them a try!

Dannon Light & Fit Greek yogurt is very good. It has 80 calories for 12g Protein and 7g sugar. You can find it in almost any grocery store.

I am still pre-op but have been following with a dietician for the past 6 months and have found a really good yogurt I use powerful yogurt the low fat version which is plain flavored but to flavor it u can add some splenda and sugar free preserves and it is one of the highest in Protein

      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.

      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! 🤣
