Ask your doc and nutritionist. Sorry we're all different and they are all different.

Depending on how swollen your sleeve is, you can probably hold up to 6oz of food. Soft foods and purees always go down easier and you can eat them in greater quantity. General rule of thumb is to stick to a high protein, low carb diet and eat reasonable amounts of healthy fats (avocado, extra virgin olive oil, fish etc). Portions should be around the size of your palm. Use a small teacup or salad plate and eat SLOWLY. If you eat too fast (as I have learned the hard way), you'll out pace your sleeve capacity and that's NOT fun!!! I don't think you need to count calories, but I track everything I eat with the MyFitnessPal app. It's very helpful for me as a beginning sleever. I am 3.5 weeks out and i am eating between 600 and 800 calories a day, more than 50% of that is from protein, 30-40% is from fat and 10-20% is carbs (net carbs under 20g per day).

Again, these are general rules of thumb and everyone has different dietary needs so you should make an appointment to meet with your group's nutritionist to go over your diet. What works for me, may not be right for you.
