How much are you able to eat?

[Carol94303 23]

I'm now 6months out since surgery. I'm curious as to how much are others eating. I've noticed that I can eat 4-5oz.

I am 27 months out and can eat 8 to 10 ounces at one sitting.

I'm starting my 8th week and I can eat 3-4 oz Protein. Or I can eat 6 oz Okios yogurt or about 5 oz of cottage cheese.

Almost 10 months out and I can eat 3-4oz of lean Protein with 2-3 oz of veggies on the side, so anywhere from 5-7oz of food in one sitting.

My approach is to eat specified amounts of food, not what I "can" eat and not eating until I am "full." With that said, I eat 4 oz of cottage cheese at one meal, 3 oz of chicken or salmon with 1 oz of green Beans at a meal, 2 oz of hamburger steak with 1 oz of green beans at a meal, etc. I eat 8 times per day, about 2 hours apart. As I have moved along (I'm 9 months post-op now), I have added calories by adding meals, not adding food to existing meals.

Everything for me is about oz of food, fl oz of Water, and target macros.

If I ate 8 times a day, I'd never find time to drink! Lol.

I'm 3.5 months out, and eat the same thing each day:

Breakfast: 4oz cottage cheese

Lunch: 1 egg and 4oz Beans

Snack: 1oz nuts and piece of fruit

Dinner: 3-4oz meat or fish

Snack: 4 oz cooked spinach

Most days I miss at least one meal or snack. The missed food is what I eat for Breakfast the next day so I'm making sure I get my nutrients.

My kitchen scale had given up the ghost, so I went without for a few weeks. I got a new one, and it works much better! So happy! I've gotten pretty good at guestimating 4 oz, but like having the scale.

I use containers to measure my ounces. I have 2 oz and 3 oz cups and 4 oz ramekins.

I am over 3 months out and I can only eat 2 - 3 oz depending on the Protein. Fish and turkey (3oz) but chicken (2oz). Vegetables as Snacks (3oz).
