Food Intake

hello I just wanted to know how many ounces of food are you suppose to be able to eat 4 months post op per meal? Thanks 

How much food you are supposed to be able to eat?  Or how much food  you should be eating?  Those may be two different things.

At four months out, I think I was eating 1/2 cup to 3/4 cup, depending on what the food was.

what does your surgeon's plan say?

I was told a max of one cup of food per meal. 

3 months out my plans are to keep it at half cup maximum per meal with high protein first any carbs will come from beans or a healthy starch.  Oh- and as little sugars as possible - including sugar substitutes.   My weight is coming off slow enough, I want to help as much as possible.

I am about 4 months out too.  For me, it depends on what it is... I can handle 6oz of Greek yogurt, or 3 oz of chicken/fish, or 2 oz of red meat.  So for me, a solid food meal is about 2-3 oz, or about the size of an egg.

Im a little over 4 months and allowed to have 2 ozs lean protein and 1/4 cup non starchy veggie

At 3 months out I was on 1/4 cup per meal, 1/2 cup at 6 months, 3/4 cup at 9 months and 1 cup at one year out. We work up to 1 cup to 1 1/4 cup per meal at one year out and

forever thereafter. I still stick to that as a rough estimate for my meals, although this far out most meals are a cup and a quarter. IF you're on protein shakes you're allowed

a bit more for calories per day and amounts. I was never on protein shakes or drinks as per my doc so my meals were solid food from 4 weeks out. Good luck.
