How many ounces should I be eating at a time, 6 Months post op?

Everyone's different. Have you talked to your NUT about it, or your surgeon? My NUT saids that 3 months post op, I should be eating 2oz of protein, 1/4 c of starch, 1/4c fruit, and 1/4c vegetables. That is alot of food to me, and I can't eat that much. So I called my surgeon's office and they said to eat 800 to 1200 calories. This is alot more simpler.

My main concern is stretching my pouch. That is why I was wondering ounces. My surgeon told me I should never eat more than 3 ounces at one time. That seemed too small to me

im 6 months out and eat about 5-6 oz. hope that helps. Ive always felt like i could eat more than every other sleever. But my surgeon said that i was ok

That does help, does anyone know how easily the pouch is stretched? I am closer to 7 months out and have hit a plateau for the last 2 months. I am worried that I will quit losing

i was told it is impossible to stretch our stomachs. And i too have been in a stall since October. But I hope i lost 3 lbs this week doing straight protein. And hopefully it doesn't fluctuate back up. I know how frustrating it is. And im right there with you. I have heard of others that had stalls, but eventually did reach goal. So it is possible even though it seems so difficult right now. Good luck

I was told to stick mostly protein in there and then some veggies.

We don't have pouches, we have little stomaches that would be VERY difficult to stretch out. My meal plan from my nutritionist says 4 oz at each meal or as tolerated. I'm just over 5 months out and a typical day's menu is as follows:

B - 1/4 cup egg beaters omelet with 1 oz canadian bacon, 1/2 oz 2% shredded cheese, a little diced tomato and sliced mushroom

L - 2 oz chicken burger or 2-3 oz of chicken breast, 1 oz 2% block cheese, some sort of vegetable (sliced cucumbers, carrots, etc.)

D - 2-3 oz meat (chicken breast, turkey meatballs, etc.), small portion of carbs (usually about 1 oz or so), sometimes a small salad

I also have a snack in the afternoon, usually a clementine or a 1 oz portion of sliced cheese.
