I just started yesterday, and I am managing approx. an ounce to ounce and a half. I've wondered the same thing.

I'm 2 weeks out from surgery and have been on purees since day 7. At first I couldn't even finish an ounce, but now depending on what it is, I can eat an ounce.

Use your measuring cup rather than a scale.  After all, your stomach does not weigh your food and only volume makes any difference.  You should be aiming at about 1/4 of a cup of food per meal.  If that is too much, back down to just a few tablespoons.  Don't eat for more than 20 min. at a time and take pencil eraser sized bites and chew them 30 times each.  I hope that helps.
