Starting Thursday I will be moved up to "Full Liquid" post-op.  My plans full liquids phase includes yogurt, cream (strained) soups, pudding, milk.  Right now, I'm not having any problems with liquids, I sip sip sip and don't usually fill "full" or have any nausea.  How long did it take you to drink a protein shake mixed with skim milk in this phase?  Did you fill up quickly?  How about yogurt?  Could you eat a container full in one sitting?  I'm just trying to get a feel for the average, so I know what to expect.

Thanks in Advance!

stay away from the cream soups... you will probably be able to eat half a yogurt, make sure you check for sugar content and get the "lite" also for the pudding, go sugar free ... chili is a great option full of protein but chew chew chew. should take you about half an hour to "eat"

A container of light greek yogurt took me 3 meals to finish.  I didnt handle the cream soups very well but did wonderfully when i could start eating refried beans.  I would add a little shredded cheese to them for a little extra protein.  I feel very full after drinking a shake.

It takes me around 30-45 mins to finish a protein shake. I am not allowed chili at this stage (pureed), unless it's mixed in a blender, which just makes me feel ill thinking about it. I'm allowed cream soups, and I usually have a fat free cheddar broccoli for one of my 2 oz meals per day. I handle it fine, and it takes around 25-30 minutes to eat. 

Every surgeon/program is different. What I'm allowed may not be on your plan. Each meal during my first 8 weeks post op is only 2 oz., so a 6 oz. yogurt lasts me three meals. I don't feel particularly FULL, since I'm mostly having liquid type things for my meals, but I'm never hungry.
