Three weeks out and can eat four ounces easily..normal?

I feel like I can eat way too much. I am on soft foods, and yesterday I had some tuna. I weighed it, and ate four ounces and I didn't feel even slightly full! I didn't eat more because I didn't want to overdo it, but I thought I would struggle with four ounces, but not even slightly!! Some people can only eat an ounce or two, so why can I eat so much? I am doomed to fail already :(

    My surgeon progressed me thru food stages quickly and I was concerned when I could eat 2 eggs or 4 Oz of cottage cheese at around that same time. Tuna and chicken were the same. Surgeon had no issues

  • I'm in the same boat. 3 weeks out. I think some foods go down more quickly. I've heard them referred to as slider foods. When I eat Soups or turkey chili I can eat more than when I eat canned chicken

I was that way too! One day it hit me though and I felt full.

Hi, My doctor said that it isn't always the weight of a food. He showed me the 2 ounces sauce container and said that is the appropriate size so use that to measure and not weigh. Also said to eat with a baby spoon. I have been practicing with my soft foods as I am not having surgery until the 28th.
