so confused about eggs and yogart
The carbs from Greek yogurt come from lactose, milk sugar. That is, if you are getting plain, which is what that number sounds like. A glass of milk has 12g of carbs so yogurt isn't much carbier.
Lactose doesn't work the same in your body as sucrose (table sugar). It's a natural form of sugar that your body can metabolize well. Also Greek yogurt has a lot of protein as well so those two nutrients work together to nourish you.
The body needs some carbs. You can't avoid them. For your post-op lifestyle you'll have to learn to eat smarter carbs to fuel you. But if you're worried about yogurt hampering your liver shrinking efforts, talk to your nutritionist about it.

One thing that needs to be remembered about the fat in eggs is that the majority of the fats are monounsaturated and polyunsaturated. These are the good fats that your body needs and they help to reduce the total cholesterol and LDL (bad) cholesterols. I have eaten a minimum of 2 eggs a day for years and my cholesterol levels have always been "excellent" (my doctor's phrase). I also eat a fair amount of nuts (cashews, pecans, pistachios) these are also "high" in fat. However, again, they are low in saturated fat and high in unsaturated fats. FYI - saturated fats are solid while unsaturated fats are more liquid in nature. Hope that helps!
