My doc routinely makes patients 5-6oz, but I asked for something smaller.... so he made me 4 oz.
I was a good eater from the get-go after surgery... I guess my stomach stretched out nicely. (good? bad?)
Actually I attributed my good weight loss to never having my body go into starvation mode... I always ate a lot of calories and still do... even on "good days" I eat 3000-4000 calories. (of course on "good days" those calories are primarly protein and fat!)
Somehow my metabolism went from being broken (thinking every diet was a hunger famine and shutting down) to chugging like a steam engine. I do exercise so maybe that helps? I dunno.
