So I'm 2 weeks post op (sleeve) and I'm on mushy foods. I really have no problem getting down the 4oz my doctor recommends. I even had 5oz of mashed potatoes. Think anything is wrong?

Oh and one of the best things to eat is wonton broth with pastina in it...just a little FYI

Slider foods. Be careful with the slider carbs.

Basically anything that isn't a dense Protein. When you are eating meat, I seriously doubt you will be able to eat 4 ounces. 4 ounces is an expected amount to be able to eat according to my booklet, 2-4 ounces.

Don't listen to all the people that talk that 2 bites BS. We have no idea what 2 bites is, and it is useless anecdotal information, not a scientific measurement.

Thanks!!!

I too am 2 weeks out and can eat 4oz of mushy food. Havent tried solids yet as not approved for 2 more weeks.

My nut said not to eat pastina because it expands in your stomach

I am 4 months out and I can still only eat 2 oz at a time

It's so weird how every practice is different with their guidelines. Mine said the only pasta allowed was pastina at this point.

Pastina and mashed potatoes? Huh. Where are you fitting in your protein' requirements?

I'm gonna be on puréed foods next week and I am so nervous about puréed meets! Lol, I'm not sure I can eat chicken with the texture of applesauce. Stupid question, is it 2-4 oz weight or measured?

I never did puree meat as it sounds unappealing. Mostly did soups with veggies in blender. It doesn't matter if you measure or weigh.

Yeah, I think it sounds heinous too, but I like experiments!!! Lol!! I'm gonna try a few recipes I found. Fingers crossed!

I can eat 3 oz if it is mushy like tuna with lite mayo, cottage cheese or soup and the like. I can only eat 1 or 2 oz of meat such as soft chicken or salmon so far. I am 18 days post op.
