10 days after how much are.....
How much are you allowed to eat per meal? I never hear anyone say how much they should be eating?
I went from my clear liquids on tuesday to full liquids and i was suppose to eat 2 tablespoons of yogurt, cream soup etc..for 3 days and then start pureed foods tomorrow at 3 tablespoons. I have pretty much been doing the 3 tablespoons the whole time because i honestly felt deprived with only 2 and 3 made me feel more fulfilled. I think i am suppose to get up to 1/4 cup after my 1 month check which is in 3 weeks. Then the next month i am assuming up to 1/2 cup for quite some time but i am not sure. I am quite anal because i want to do things right so i avoid the dumping and being sick as much as possible?
thanks..

Thank you very much. I am not that far out. I was curious to know what was coming up and how much you actually go up in the first year. According to my book i got from my doctors office it doesn't say past 3 months. I wasn't sure if i ate 1/4 cup for the rest of my life or for a week or a month.

not sure why you post the question. From what you wrote - you have very clear instructions how much you should eat. Not that you feel like you need to follow that. (" i was suppose to eat 2 tablespoons of yogurt, cream soup etc..for 3 days and then start pureed foods tomorrow at 3 tablespoons. I have pretty much been doing the 3 tablespoons the whole time because i honestly felt deprived with only 2 and 3 made me feel more fulfilled...")
Please listen to the doc and nut - and try to follow the instruction closly. Yes- it is very little food. Yes - the head hunger is there, yes - you may feel deprived - but - overall - following the recommendations may help you in a long run.
You will feel deprived over and over and over ...... get used to that. I still do some days, even 3.5 years post op.

a little snarky are we?? well i posted the question becasue like YOU i have the right to post the question. i only had to do 2 tablespoons for THREE days and if i felt better eating THREE instead of 2 doesn't mean i am going to be a NONWINNER and never lose. I have followed my diet precisely but wanted to see what others are being told they are suppose to do at this stage ...just for fun!!

Sensitive? are we not? I get that you may be frustrated. And hungry, and hormonal at this point. I still remember how it was.
To me - it looks like you posted a question to ask for confirmation and approval of eating more or different that your doc - nut recommend.
Most of us - who got different doc and nuts - got different plans.
Initially - best is to follow the nut - doc program. At least at the beginning. But then - you are an adult, having fun. Just for fun.

Umm yeah i am sensitive...and was warned not to come to this site. I have been putting myself out there with everyone else and decided to ask a question.
the question was (How much are you allowed to eat per meal? I never hear anyone say how much they should be eating?????)
and i get the snarky remark " not sure why you post the question. From what you wrote - you have very clear instructions how much you should eat. Not that you feel like you need to follow that".
and blah blah blah...thanks you made me feel like a real good person...

If you're that sensitive, from what appeared to be sound advice, get ready for worse days ahead when people may say things about your surgery that you don't want to hear:
"Are you SURE you did the right thing?"
"You took the easy way out."
"I had an uncle who DIED from that surgery!"
"How much weight have you lost? How much weight have you lost? How much weight have you lost?"
"Is that ALL you can eat???"
"Ha! Ha! Too bad YOU can't have a slice of this delicious pizza!"
"You've ruined what God gave you."
...and so on. I'm just sayin'.
I found myself to be VERY irritable and sensitive in the days after my surgery and I really think it had to do with the pain medication and the anesthesia. Not that I'm Pollyanna in the normal world! LOL
