Three weeks out from VSG. I just ate an Oikos Triple Zero peach yogurt. It was 5.3 oz. I had no idea it was that much! I didn't look at the size until I was done. It took 45 minutes to eat it and I was sitting at my desk. Should I be worried that my Sleeve is already stretched?!! My doctor said I should be eating 2-3 oz at a meal. Please tell me what you think!

Yougurt is just a denser liquid, when you eat it is going to basically be a slider and go right through your stomach. If 5 ounces is a serving. I don't see an issue. However, you should be measuring out your portions and only eating your portions. You can't overeat if you aren't over served to begin with.

no, your pouch isn't stretched out. Relax and breathe.

I guess it will be a while before you eat anything else. :-)

I'm not usually so dramatic but this is just hard. Breathing commencing. Thanks.

That's a good point. I should be measuring out all my food. I guess I just thought a yogurt would be fine. Especially since it was Greek yogurt with no sugar added and 16 g of protein. My bad for assuming. Will do better tomorrow. Thanks for responding.

Eating a whole container of yogurt isn't a problem. My program recommends 2-3oz of lean meat or cheese, and the equivalent they list is 6oz of greek yogurt. Measuring is definitely an excellent tool (I do it,) but that much yogurt really is fine.

Thank you so much! This was great information and very helpful. I wish I had been given an equivalent sheet. I didn't get much of anything :-( I wonder if something like that is available online...
