You will but give yourself time. Take it slow and don't push it!! Hang in there you will be able to eat more gradually

I'm 3wks 2 days out also. It really sucks. I make delicious refried Beans but can only eat 2 tablespoons. Sucks cause it tastes so good it makes me want more but if I eat just one bite too many I'm in excruciating pain! This is normal. You're allowed to be upset. I am too. One day at a time! Eventually we will feel a bit more normal!!!

Everyone is different. Other people at this point might still be a little numb from the surgery so they can tolerate more. Your pouch right now is only a little bigger than a baby's fist. Be glad you are already able to tell your limits.

I'm 3 1/2 months post op and my nut says I should be able to eat 4 oz by now but I just got to where I can eat 2 1/2 oz...,,, she said just eat what I can and if I start wanting more to eat it! Some people just can't ever eat as much as others, but its totally normal. No two people are the same!

I'm the same way and we had surgery the same day. It depends on what I eat tho. I could only eat an ounce of meatballs tonight for supper but had 2 ounces of chicken salad for lunch. Go figure. I think the heavier the food the less I can eat which makes sense. It'll get better. It has to. Lol

Lol yes it does but Man U had chicken salad I can't do that yet I got so nauseous I tried for lunch eggs are bad for me too have u tried pancakes they have these Kosher ones with blueberries 14 grams of Protein I think I'm go an try that next .. I think for me chewing is such a long job I don't wanna eat either :-/

I don't understand you all are just over 3 weeks post op and eating chicken and meatballs etc. My surgeon has us all on full liquids plus eggs until 4 weeks. I'm able to eat 1/2 cup of creamy soup or a whole egg. I get full. Am i eating too much at one time?

Btw I'm 2.4 days out

The quantity I can eat depends on the density of the food. I can sometimes eat an entire Greek yogurt (5oz). Soup is the same. Chili I can eat about a third of a cup. Refried beans I can only eat an oz or two. Same with ground meats like turkey or beef. And chicken is the hardest for me to eat unless I moisten it well with gravy or sauce. Even then I have to be very careful to eat super-slow. There is a very fine line between 'satisfied' and 'suffering'. :-)

Today at work they ordered Chinese for lunch. I ate some food off a friends meal. I had one scallop, one medium shrimp, one bite of chicken, and a few bean sprouts. I also ate the middle out of one crab Rangoon. After that I was done. Not too much, not too little. Got me through to dinnertime.

A month ago I would've eaten the whole meal AND a side of egg rolls AND pork fried rice AND the entire order of crab Rangoon (8 pieces).

Exactly!

I'm 3 weeks and 2 days as well... If I eat 2 TBS than I'm lucky. I have to supplement with protein shakes because I definitely can't get nutrition through food yet. If I even take a bite over 2 Tbs then I'm in PAIN.
