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!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
