Yogurt...

Hello,

This seems like a silly question to be asking on here, especially since I can just ask my NUT on Tuesday, but I'm going to ask anyway....I'm having my surgery on Wednesday so I've been out shopping to fill my cabinets with acceptable Post Op foods.  Since yogurt is one of the acceptable foods for the early stages of Post Op diet I was wondering what kinds I should get. My NUT said that I should only eat food that contains less than 9grams of sugar per serving and I can't find any yogurt that fits into that category. Maybe my grocery store doesn't carry the right kind or maybe I didn't look hard enough but I couldn't find a single yogurt that had less than 11grams of sugar per serving....any suggestions?

Thanks!

u can get somenatural  non fat one( the ones that u buy when you are dieting(  but don´t get to excited about that and  buy the whole store!! get  just a couple `cuz you pouch may not like dairy after surgery.
good luck

Becuase lactose is a natural sugar, you won't find a yogurt that fits under 9g of sugar. Try Dannon light and fit, or Breyers light, both of these brands do not have added sugar, which is what you should look out for. I remember when I was first out and was looking for yogurt, I almost had a nervous breakdown scrutinzing every last label.

get low fat kefir instead.

 Not sure if you have a Kroger near you but they make a "carb control" yogurt that has low sugar and 10g of protein!  

Great Question...I seriously didn't know either! OMG Your Day is almost here Holly Holl!  

greek yogurt is pretty popular with the peeps over in the RNY forum, but i think its just plain ol no flaver having stuff! they use the sugar free syrups and mix it in, later when its acceptable you can add fruit and its a tasty treat.

If you have a winn-dixie around you they have no sugar added sugar and a whole container is only 8 grams of sugar.  on the other hand you won't be able to eat an entire container of yogurt in one sitting early post op, I can just now eat one and I'm almost a year out.  good luck!

light and fit is good but also if you get plain yogurt and add sugar free torani syrup to it for flavoring that works too. good luck!

"carb control" yogurt  that Krogers carrys is a great yogurt. it has like 3 sugar and 10 to 12 protein seems like.
