I am post op from 4/19 and my NUT told me to measure everything right now, til my check up. SO I eat 1/4 cup at a time of everything. If it is soup with alot of broth, I try to not really do the broth casue it takes up precious room in there. Hope that helps.

 I ate 2oz (a medicine cup full) at your stage and I had to take 15mins or so to eat it.

well, when i was at your stage i was still at full liquids. i couldnt even have yogurt. .. i remember i sipped everything and couldnt get much in at a time. in fact, i had to go back to the hospital cause i got dehydrated.... it was a rough first few weeks for me. NOW, that im about 3 months post op, i can get in about 3/4 cup of food.. or a half of a turkey/cheese sandwitch.

You won't really be hungry in the beginning. You might get head hunger...I did get tha****ching tv and wanting that feeling of *ahhh* eating something yummy. But not true hunger.
I could only have a medicine cup full of protien shake at your stage and the 2 weeks after surgery.
Now, I am 8 months out and can eat 1/2 cup to 3/4 cup of food at a time. Sometimes depending on the food (soups, salad mostly) I can eat more. It seems to slide down. But you need to be cautious with these things. They can be empty calories with little protien.

RNY 8/17/09, Starting weight 236 right before surgery, lowest weight after surgery was 126. Currently afraid of the scale....

My NUT gave me a hand out that said, first two weeks of liquids 2-3 oz of liquids.  Then when I move to soft foods, 3-4 oz of food which is weeks 3-6, after that no size requirement, but making sure I get my protien, and not eat empty calories.
I have started a blog all of my own for this journey.  Please follow me at www.digitalsheep.org.

After reading posts on OH RNY board for over I year, I think we were fortunate in our pre op teaching and availability of dieticians post op.  So many others seem to have no idea what to do, how much to eat, etc.

I go to the 3 ring binder often - even at one year post op.

Best wishes.
