Portion size at 5 weeks after Gastric Plication Surgery

I'm 5 weeks post-op and I'm concerned that I'm being able to eat too much and not having any tummy issues. For example today's menu:

Breakfast 4 oz Protein shake

Snack 1/2 cup mixed fruit

lunch 3oz chicken salad with 4 wheat crackers and a small cookie

Snack SF Popsicle

1/2 a small bag of Cheetos ( my daughters leftover... I know, Shame on me)

Dinner: 3-4 oz chicken with 1/2 cup of broccoli rice casserole

( dinner was at 5:30pm) and I know I'll be hungry around 8pm so might have another meal or snack!

See, I'm eating tons!! I hear and read people eating 1/3 of what I just wrote :-(

Is anyone else able to eat this much?!!

Aren't all these bariatric procedures just a tool to be used along with new food choices and exercise to have long term weight loss? I didn't think that the procedures alone we're going to be the answer.

Yup. But some people don't see it that way.
