Every surgeon has their own plan but my plan is 4 oz. per meal. Email or call your nutritionist with any questions you have. Good luck brother.

Yeah, as was stated each surgeon has some variation on his/her plan.  My surgeon's post-op plan was 3 phases:

Stage I: Liquid diet of 6 meals / day x 2 weeks with 3 protein supplements per day

Stage II: Soft diet of 6 meals / day x 4 weeks with 2 protein supplements per day

Stage III: Regular diet of 3 meals / day + 1 Afternoon Snack x for life with 0 protein supplements per day

Stage I includes pureed soups, mashed potatoes, yogurt, SF pudding, cottage cheese, oatmeal, cream of wheat, grits.

Stage II includes fish, seafood, cooked vegatables (except corn), eggs, soft fruit, soft pasta.

Stage III meal consist of 3 oz meat (eaten first), 2 oz vegatable (eaten second), 1 oz fruit (eaten last) - but always stop eating when full.
