I was on liquids only for 3 weeks, but certainly couldn't eat that much yogurt even at 6 months out. Were you given instructions on certain amounts to eat? Like no more than 4oz per meal, etc? The nerves to your stomach were cut, so you can't go by what you perceive as "full" or not at this stage. It will be at least 2-3 months before your sleeve is healed and maybe even longer before you regain normal sensation. Measuring what you eat and sticking to that amount is a very important part of the learning curve for postoperative lifestyle changes required for long term success. Eating until we are full is what got us obese in the first place. It's one of the many bad habits I worked hard to get rid of.

You're only one week out which means the nerves are still healing. Which means the signals won't be accurate. Keep it under 6oz volume for around the next 2-3 weeks.

I was advised to eat 2 oz over the course of 20 minutes and then stop, even if not feeling full. Your signals (coming from the nerves) telling you that you are satiated are not working yet. Don't just keep eating, that's really bad for you.

I can only eat half a yogurt at 12 weeks out. Do NOT push your stomach.

I guess my question would be how long did it take you to eat two of them? Yogurt is like liquid and it will go through you more quickly. It was on my Full liquid diet list so it was considered a liquid. I can drink and eat "liquids" in much higher volumes than dense Proteins.

I'd recommend only eating the serving size your doctor sets (4oz, 2oz, etc). Because the thing is...you never know when you are going to eat too much right now and make yourself very sick.

Can doesn't mean should. lol! Lots of people tend to think their stomach isn't as small as they were told because at first they can consume what feels like large amounts of the liquid. But as soon as dense food goes in you will feel the difference right away.

2 yogurts in about 45 min to an hour.

What portion size were you told to eat? And in what time frame? If you weren't given any guidelines then I highly suggest you contact your nutritionist again and ask for some.

I will be a month out on the 23rd and I still can't finish one full triple zero yogurt. I start feeling full towards the end of it. Same when I eat 3-4oz of cottage cheese or some Jello.

6 weeks out and I can't finish one of the Oikos yogurt, let alone two. I usually manage about 3/4 of a yogurt over the span of 20 minutes.
