I am in the same boat. I’m 7 weeks post VSG. I can eat more than 4 oz. I noticed that the denser your food is the less you can eat. So I try to start with food that I have to chew and finish with slider food. I do measure my food and do not eat more than 4-6 oz.

Hi Friends, I am almost 7 weeks post VSG. At this point I eat solid food that I chew thoroughly. According to instruction package that I got from my doctor, my portions should be between 1/4 and 1/2 a cup at this point. This amount of food doesn’t satisfy me... I can eat more. When I asked my nutritionist, she said that I should eat as much as I need to feel satisfied and that it varies from person to person. I struggle with that answer because I don’t want to stretch my pouch somehow. I measure everything in 4-6 oz portions and do not go over, BUT I WANT TO.......Can I eat more? Someone told me that our pouch can only hold 4 oz of food. What are your thoughts on this?

Hi Everyone, I had surgery on 1/3/20, and I am now 6 weeks post op. I started solid food this week. I can easily eat 4 oz. So my question is should I have 4 oz of protein (fish) or 2 oz of protein and 2 oz of veggies?
