Sugar Free Yogurt? Does it exist?



Recommended Posts

I am 14 days post op. Meeting with Dr for the first time tomorrow and am going to advance to "mushy/puree" stage.

On my list it says sugar free yogurt? Does that even exist? I heard the Greek Style is good but its def got carbs?

Any suggestions?

I'm sure there are some carb control ones out there but just not sure.

Thanks in advance for help.

I was told Yogurt has natural sugar in it. I believe they meant no "added" sugar. food lion carries a brand with no added sugar

Well as yogurt is dairy it contains lactose which of course is a type of sugar. But it is the added sugars you need to look out for. There are plenty of yogurts available that are artificially sweetened.

Be careful with Greek yogurt. It tastes divine, is unsweetened but it is also very high in fat. I am sure it is Ok in small quantities but you don't want to eat too much of it.

My nutritionist said I could eat Yoplait Light Fat Free yogurt. I love the Very vanilla flavor. Blueberry is good too.

Ask your doctor what he recommends.

I have two brands of Greek yogurt in my fridge now.

Brown Cow, which food Lion carries, and Oikos, which I've found at Whole Foods, Kroger's, and Walmart.

Both brands come in fat free. They both have 6g of sugar and 15g of Protein in their small 5.3 oz container. I buy the plain, and sweeten it with a pack of Stevia. I also might add some fresh or frozen berries with a dash of vanilla extract. There's a whole thread with Greek yogurt recipes, that you might want to check out if you get the okay from your dr.

Greek yogurt will give you needed Protein. Just buy the plain and add some pureed fruit to get some flavor. Greek yogurt is much higher in protein than other yogurts. And, everyone needs a few carbs in their diet on a daily basis.

Not at all the case, I am eating Oikos zero fat Greek yogurt at this very moment.

I did Atkins for the longest time, and when I would get a craving for yogurt (you sometimes crave the healthy stuff when you are eating nothing but sausage links and scrambled eggs!) I would always get Dannon Light and Fit Carb Control. I think they have about 4 carbs if I remeber correctly, and its a small portion, which is perfect for the band and it tastes pretty good! Now, I eat a lot of Yoplait Lights. They have so many different flavors that you can always mix it up and keep from getting bored of the same old vanilla or strawberry. I am a big fan of the Orange Creamsicle and Key Lime Pie flavors. Not to mention its a brand thats always on sale at the grocery stores!

I like yogurt, but never had luck with it. It always seemed like an empty calorie food. I would be still hungry after consuming one. When they are on sale, I buy them, but its hard to have the will power to only have one! When I get to the mushy stage, i think I will only buy 1 at a time

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
