1 Week Post Op - Portion Sizes?

All - I'm 1 week post op and beginning purees tomorrow. I can drink lots but worry about eating. I feel like I could eat 1/2 c to a cup of mushy food, but I know that's probably not good. Surgeon's directions only tell me what to eat - not how much. I have a follow up Thursday and will ask then, but I wanted to get your insight.

How much should I be putting on a plate and eating during one sitting? Also, how often?

Thanks in advance!

2 ounces to start, do that as many times as it takes to hit your protein goals. I was eating 7-8 times a day at first. Some will disagree with me but get off of more than 3 meals a day as soon as you can. I was doing an afternoon snack and now that ive quit the snack I'm dealing with head hunger something fierce after that snack time.

I did one ounce the first day and then two ounces for the rest of my purée stage. I had two purée meals a day and shakes to reach my protein goal. I used little cups, not a plate for purée stage :)

No more than two oz per meal for sure. I feel like I did that maybe 5 times a day? Once you have solids I think you'll feel differently about thinking you can eat 1/2 C food, the fluids definitely don't fill me as much as solids--especially protein.
