StevieSmithtown 12 Posted May 7, 2012 Two weeks to the day since my surgery and I just inhaled 6 oz of yogurt without batting an eye and if I had another cup I'd probably eat that too. How is that possible? I was told by my nutritionist that I wouldn't be able to eat that much in one sitting. I really hope I don't have an issue. I know who my first call is when I get to work this morning!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lissa 2,631 Posted May 7, 2012 Yogurt is technically a liquid, so it will go through your sleeve much faster than dense Protein.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wheetsin 714 Posted May 7, 2012 Agree with Lissa. It also depends on the viscosity of the yogurt. Just a few days post-op I could eat most of the yogurt in a McD's parfait (I tossed the fruit/granola) - actually I probably couldn't eaten all of it wityhout a problem but I made myself stop because it seemed like more volume that I expected - but I could eat not quite 2 tbl of plain Greek yogurt. Some yogurts are not much denser than a sauce. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cobrargc 25 Posted May 7, 2012 6 oz of yogurt was right at my limit following surgery. If I'd eaten another spoonful I would have felt the discomfort. The swelling has since gone down and I can take in more than 6 oz, but for quite a while this was a great nutritional choice for a sweet tooth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
