How much were you eating?

At 6 weeks out? I usually eat 2 ounces 3 times a day plus I drink a protein drink with 40 grams of protein. I feel comfortable eating 2 ounces. I'm afraid to eat any more bc I'm afraid it will be too much.

My nut even okd me to start eating soft veggies but I'm not able to get any in once I finish my protein. I know this is ok but idk. I'm still feeling like I'm eating too much for one sitting just eating 2 ounces of food. I wish I knew exactly what size my pouch is so I know exactly how much food will fit so I don't have to worry about overrating and stretching my pouch. I know it's supposed to get a little bigger over time but how do I know if that's the case or if its stretching because I'm overeating?

At 6 weeks I'm pretty sure that's about what I was eating, you'll know if you over eat and it takes months to stretch the pouch. If you over eat you'll get sick and probably vomit. I wouldn't worry to much about it right now, but if your still eating the same ammount after a year, you might become malnourished depending on what your progression is

Your pouch is smaller than your thumb.  In a year it will get to be about the size of an egg and you will be able to eat about six ounces then.  I still eat about four ounces six times a day at six years out.

At two months out I could handle four ounces or soup or about one ounce of meat.

At three months out, I could eat half of a small Wendy's chili, or a small bowl of vegetable soup.  Now I can easily finish a small Wendy's chili or 4 to 6 ounces of steak or fish.  I can eat a lot of salad, a large tomato, or two string cheese for a meal.  I still don't eat potatoes, rice, pasta, bread or noodles. 

 

Thats what I was eating even at 8 weeks. --2-3 meals a day---My dr. Was ok. As long as I was getting in liquids. I'm 11 weeks up to 3-4 ozs at a meal. Depends on how dense food is... i've not been sick...on reg. Food and its a learning experince! Hope all goes well with you!
