Example of Food Quantities



Recommended Posts

Hi, I am still waiting for my surgery, but I am sitting here wondering about the future.

I just ate about 1 cup of greek yogurt for a mid morning snack (no breakfast) and still feel very hungry and still thinking about food.

How do you feel after eating 1 cup of greek yogurt? Does this actually satisfy?

Also, is greek yogurt like ice cream and considered a slider food?

Hi Jenny. I'm not a big yogurt fan but I do like hummus alot. It's all Protein but of a smooth consistency. I don't know that it is a slider food as I think of slider foods as high calorie but....I can tell you that for lunch I often eat 3 oz. hummus with a lowfat wrap...something around 120 calories maximum. it's not alot of food....and prebanded I'd have eaten that as a starter before going on to the next item, but postbanded, I eat the hummus and the wrap and it's plenty. I'm not full....that's a big difference after you are banded, but I am satisfied, and that's the goal. Hope that helps some...

I'm newly banded and am still on full liquids. I had 1/3 cup of greek yogurt for Breakfast yesterday and it kept me satisfied until lunch. I love yogurt but was told when I get on regular foods I don't need to eat it because it is a slider and won't keep me satisfied for long.

Considering you're not banded yet, you would still be hungry. A cup of yogurt takes me at least 15 -20 minutes to eat and it is quite filling. No worries!

Yougurt is a slider food even though it's good for you it passes right through the band without much effort. There is nothing to chew. The best thing to do is add something to yogurt like fruit berries or some high protien Cereal. Like to add Kashi go lean crunch to it. This way your getting all the benefits of the yougurt and Protein and not letting it slide right through where you are hungry again too soon.

Best of luck to you!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
