Portion sizes

[sofianoemi 16]

Hey everyone I wanted to ask the people who are 6 months post op and more, how big of a portion are you eating. thank you

[LumpySpacePrincess 594]

I'm a year out and I can only eat about 6 ounces of soft food (or half cup) or four ounces (about a third of a cup max) of more solid Protein before I get full. The only exception is soft dairy like yogurt or cottage cheese, of which I can eat up to 8 ounces at a time.

For additional perspective I can eat about:

half a sandwich of any variety if the bread is thin

one slice of pizza

one small chicken breast

three egg whites with half an english muffin

half a large Tomato

two hard boiled eggs

Hope this helps!

At the 6 month mark, I was up to 1/2 cup size bowl I ate out of. In the following months, I gradually began to eat larger portions. At 1 year, I was up to 1 cup and now at 2 years, I can eat between 1 and 1 1/2 cups depending on the amount of Protein in the meal. For example, 4.5 to 6 oz of pork loin is a meal (it's fairly tough and dry meat - beef hamburger is even more filling). However, I can eat 1 large apple and 1 big banana or 2 bananas for a meal or I can eat 3 large yellow squash (probably 10 - 14 oz) for a meal.

I can eat a frozen meal sized meal. So 6 oz, before I get full. I can get in about 5 oz of chicken and feel full on that. I'm just shy of 7 months.

My meals are usually in the range of 4-5 ounces and I am quite full on that. So about 2.5-3 oz. Protein and an ounce or two of green veggies.
