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

What she said

What everyone said above is dead on. No worries!!!!

Ok awesome thanks! I was worried!

Is that how much your doc wants you eating? Iam only suppose to be eating 3 ounces each meal.

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!
