 Hey y'all....I'm 5 months out now from my VSG and was wondering..... How many ounces you were able to tolerate now.  I find that I can eat almost 4 ounces....For example I had one of those little white corn tortillas with chicken and a little sour cream....I measured it at a little under 4 oz. and I ate it all.....I can also eat a whole 6 oz. greek yogurt easily, but that's not as heavy.....Is 4 oz. too much, too little....what do you think.

I can eat 4 oz of cottage cheese or 2 to 2-1/2 ounces of dense protein with a little bit of veggies after that.  Soups and stews more like 6 oz, but depends on if it has meat in it.

I am 3 years out and couldnt eat a corn tortilla or chicken.  I can eat 6 oz of greek yogurt or about the same of soup (if it is blended), less if it is "chunky".  I dont think my restriction has changed at all in 3 years.  Do you journal your food intake?  I HIGHLY recommend doing so -- you can do it here or at a variety of sites.  I find it to be very helpful and still do it daily.  

I can eat 3 oz of cheescake but that doesnt mean its a good idea, right?  I also shoot for 100 grams of protein, less than 100 grams of carbs and about 1400 calories -- imposible to know  you are on track unless you journal it.

I wouldn't worry to much about how much you can tolerate at a sitting -- focus on what it is you are eating, make sure you are getting enough water (not right after you eat though) and you will do well.

Rhidunn,
    Just wanted to say hi to a fellow Annapolitan :)
    Do you attend a support group?  I had surgery at Bayview, but I have to work the night they have support group.  I'd love to find an Annapolis group!

I can eat 3 oz. chicken and could probably eat 4oz. but I want some veggies with my protien.
