how far out are you? I am 9 weeks out but my nut told me 2oz at a time.

who are these "a lot of people" and why do you care what they say unless they are YOUR dietician and/or surgeon? If you don't feel up to eating four ounces, don't do it! I couldn't eat four ounces at one sitting until I was well over a year post-op.

2oz is about right, next week you might be up to 3oz, etc.

I am 6 weeks and today was my first day of eating 6 oz of soft baked fish at one sitting.

You are still healing, don't push it. If you are full at 2oz, stop at 2oz. Just make sure you meet your Protein requirements

@@confusedgirl18 it can be tough to know what to do...especially so early on. My stomach hasn't healed enough for me to have a sensation of fullness yet, so i know what you mean about not wanting to overeat. The meal plans vary so widely, so you might want to call your NUT just to see what they recommend. For example, I'm still on full liquids and my surgeon wants me to have 1/4 to 1/2 cup of soup. I can do the half cup with no probs (that is 4 oz), but that’s probably because it's liquid. Just to show how different the plans are from doc to doc...I'm never to eat oatmeal. Isn't that weird? Good luck! :)

I'm at 5 weeks out and can still only have 2 oz.
