just be sure to use the "dip" mix, I can't vouch for the Salad Dressing seasoning.

Good call out, I have one of each, so I'll definitely use the dip mix

I am not a yogurt person!
I have bought some fat free Chobani & FAGE brands and can’t seem to eat more than a spoonful, taste is too bitter. So I am curious as to how you all incorporate your Greek yogurt into your meals. I am 6 weeks post up and starting to incorporate new textures.
any suggestions.
I love the dannon light and fit Greek yogurt. It doesn't have as much of a bite to it. Or the chobani Greek drinkable but that has a bit too much sugar.

I would try to he Torani flavorings, add the Peanut Butter stuff they talk about on here, I think it's called PB2 or even stirring a little Crystal Light,powder in. Add it Roto something b else already on your diet, one girl says she even mixed it with salsa, don't know if I would go that far, but taste buds are. different. I used to stir,peanut butter into strawberry ice cream before I started on this reformulation of my body. Oh and also peanut butter and lettuce sandwiches.😛🌈

I wasn't a Greek yogurt person either until I decided to have the surgery and I had to figure out the whole Protein thing. I loved triple zero, cannot tolerate it anymore something about the sweetener. Loved the one Creek talked about, then that kind made me sick too.

So I make my own now, the tartness can be adjusted and you can keep it "runnier" if you like but you're sacrificing the protein per ounce. So incredibly easy if anyone is interested, I make mine in my instapot. I'm not a fan of plain yogurt so I make a fruit "smash" and add that. I just like I know what is in mine, no fillers, no Gelatin. All I need is milk, half a cup of my previous batch of yogurt, my instapot and my nutmilk bags to strain out the whey. I guess I just like making stuff lol!

I switched to Greek yogurt when I decided to have surgery. It took me some time to find one I like. I use Triple Zero and Great Value fat free plain. I make a fruit dip with it and a veggie dip. I like to use the veggie dip in my shredded chicken salad instead of light mayo. It adds more Protein in. I have not had my surgery yet and have had issues getting my daily protein goal in.

      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.
