Pouch Worries?

I'm 3.5 weeks out of surgery and holding down food like a champ. I'm on purée and soft. I can hold down about 4-5 oz a serving.. Is this normal? I'm afraid I may be stretching my pouch already! I was down 23lbs now haven't lost one pound. I'm worried

I'm 6 weeks, almost 7, out of surgery and had that same worry. I actually gained a pound when I went to purred food from liquid. It freaked me out and got me upset. But now 7 weeks out I can definitely tell you there is a limit to what you can eat. My advise is to stick to the food plan the docs laid out. Find your satisfaction point no matter if its 1 oz or 5 oz and don't be discouraged at this point. Give it another week or two and if you are still at a stand still with weight talk to your doc.
