Normal at this stage?

I'm 5 weeks out and the MAXIMUM I can eat at a meal is 1/4 cup....but it's normally closer to 2 Tbls. For those of you at the same stage as me, how much can you eat per meal? (Or those further out and can remember how much you could eat at the 5 week mark)

  • 1/4 cup is 2 ounces. That is probably about right. Some people may be a little higher by 5 weeks, but everyone is different. No need to push it!

That sounds about right.

That was about right for me too a few weeks ago. Even now I can usually only eat 2 oz. Every once in a while I can eat more. last night I had 3 oz of ground beef with a little lettuce and was satisfied. The day before I couldn't finish a 2oz crab cake. It's weird how it fluctuates.
