You should definately follow up with your nut as every body's program is different.

I was allowed no more than 1/4 cup of food nor could I handle any more until I was nearly 4 months post op. At about 4 months post op I was able to eat about 1/2 cup.

Keep in mind the way to think about that is chewed up food. That means with Soup and salads, you can usually eat more than 1/4 cup because of the liquid in the soup and salad chewed up means you can eat quite a bit more depending on which Protein you use.

Once I got to the year mark I was able to eat about a cup of food and that is where I have remained. I am 22 months post op.

I am 2&1/2 post op, I still having trouble getting it all in.

I am 3 years post-op RNY gastric bypass surgery. The plan I was given to follow was:

Weeks 1-8: 2 ounces of food per meal x 3 meals per day

Weeks 9-15: 3 ounces per meal

Months 4-6: 4 ounces per meal

Months 7-9: 5 ounces per meal

Months 10-12: 6 ounces per meal

Months 12-18: 7 ounces per meal

Months 18 and beyond: 8 ounces per meal

One other point. Protein shakes do not count against your meal allotment. I would blend in a half a banana into my Protein shake and the half a banana does not count against my meals. [but don't take this to the extreme.]
