Still not getting 4 oz of meal in

I'm 7 weeks post op tomorrow. I'm still not able to eat more than 1 or 2 oz per meal. Is this normal? I'm getting in about 60 grams of protein and 60-70 oz of water. Does it get easier?

Yep, it's normal...

You're doing really well on the Protein and the Water...

If you can keep that up then the rest will come...

Yes, it will change drastically. I could barely eat more than 1-2 tablespoons at a time for the first 3 months. At 6 months I was eating was resembled a teeny tiny meal. By 12 months I could eat twice as much as 6 months. Now almost 2 years I can eat about 50% more than I could at 1 year. Would be nice to go back to that 6 month mark.

As long as you are getting in all your Protein and fluids you are doing great! The volume will come in time. Be careful what you wish for ;)
