How much lean protein can you eat at one sitting?

I'm curious - how far out are you from surgery and how much lean Protein can you eat at one sitting?

I'm 8 weeks today, and can eat two to three ounces of fish or chicken in one sitting, closer to two usually.

Thanks!

Sounds about right. I am 5.5 months out and I can eat 5 oz. Depending on what is though .... some things I can only eat 3, some 5.

I'm almost 10 months out and 4oz. is comfortable.

Thanks for these answers! I'm just trying to figure out how to get enough Protein in, because I'm off dairy (reflux) and can't do the Isopure or milk-based shakes.

So I'm trying to figure out how to get it all in by the end of the day.

I did forget to add that I also eat it with a cheese and a cracker, so ...

I love a Trader Joes Social Cracker with tuna and a piece of sharp cheddar. mmmm ...

Im 6 weeks out and I can eat 4 - 4.5 oz of food total (including veggies or whatever my side is). My doc just told me no more than 5... shouldnt be a problem cuz 4 usually fills me - I still have the old mental fight with myself to not eat more if it tastes super yummy though. So far I've been good!

I'm two months out and I can eat about 4 ounces of hamburger or turkey burger. I can eat about 6 oz of chili because it is so much more moist. Even though I can eat 6 oz of chili, I usually restrict myself to 4 oz. Have you tried adding protein powder to pudding as one way of getting in more protein? Also keep scrambled eggs in mind as well.

5 -1/2 months out and 3oz
