I am 3 days out and can have greek yogurt today.  My guidelines don't say how much..... This morning for breakfast I ate 1 ounce....  How much should I be eating at one time?

Thanks!

Amy,  I started to type that I ate more than that starting out with 1/8 cup.  But I looked at the equivalency and it is also 1 oz.  But in no time that moved up to 1/4 cup.  Now I can eat 1/2 cup by itself with flavoring or 1/3 cup if I add berries or cereal to it. ( I am 7 months post op)

Yogurt is a slider food so i could eat 4oz at a time, everyone is differant though so you should ask your NUT or surgeon.

Good luck to you

I usually eat 1/2 cup of Fage 0% with 1/2 cup fruit (frozen blueberries, strawberries, or applesauce are my favs). But I am almost 3 years out.

1 oz is what I ate that early out also.  I'd ask your surgeon's office what size they made your pouch and what quantity they suggest.  It IS a slider food so you'll be able to eat more yogurt compared to dense meats.

Don't push yourself to eat too much.

Thanks everyone!  My pouch is only 30 cc - 2tbsp.  I will stick to one tbsp a couple of times a day for now.  

Thanks for the posts!

Now I'm gettting worried after reading that how much everyone eats.  I've always eaten the whole container of Chabani greek that's 6oz.  it takes about 20min.  I'm obviously doing something wrong.....  And sometimes I'm not even full.

Yogurt is one of those things that I can eat alot of in a very short time. For me, that's a good thing since I HATE greek yogurt regardless of how I fix it up. At about 4-8 weeks I ate a full cup for breakfast. I imagine my pouch is larger than yours though. I seem to be able to eat more than most people on here.
