I am 10 days post op and was able to eat a 6 oz container of light yogurt this morning. Now granted it took me almost an hour but still I thought I was only going to be able to have 3 spoonfuls and be full. Happen to anyone else this soon?

Yogurt liquifies fast in the stomach. And it also leaves your stomach faster than dense Protein. If you are taking an hour to eat it then it's more like you are having 3 oz every 30 minutes, which is totally normal.

Don't worry...you will feel more restriction with solid protein...yogurt is *almost* a liquid...and your body starts digesting food the minute it goes in your mouth...so 6 oz over an hour doesn't sound super unusual to me

Hi all I was not able to eat yogurt until a month later? I guess everyone is different but I was told it should only take you 20 -30 minutes to eat one meal then you should walk away from it.. or wait until lunch.. that's what I was told good luck!

My doctor and dietician said no real restrictions with full liquid diet which yogurt is. They just said stop when you are full. Listen to your body. When I am on solids then yes less amounts. I am having a really hard time getting calories in and I don't want to go into starvation mode. So if I have to eat a 6oz container of yogurt to get 90 calories then that's what I should do. I just didn't know if it was ok. Apparently it is! Thanks!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
