???????????????? How much can your pouchie hold????????????????

I just kinda waan get I deas so give it to me!! How many ounces? if not ounces. What does your portion look like and I hope we are all eatting protien First. Thanks a bunch to who ever gives me details!

I wonder about this too! Sometimes i think i am over eating and other days i think i am doing ok. I usually only eat till just starting to get full. Not uncomfortable. Yesterday was a cookout. I had about 2oz. of grilled chicken, a very small piece of bbq rib ( like maybe 1oz?) about 2 tbls. of potato salad, baked beans, maybe a little more, and half a piece of buttered bread. As you can see i have a very tolerant pouch. I never eat buttered bread, just takes up space i need for protein, but i sure did yesterday. I always try to get my protein in first though. Not sure if i am overeating or not? Still seem to be losing. 346/233/170

OK Well Thank You! I can eat like 2ounces of meat and four spoons of other stuff but ...I dont always weigh my food can you eye it out too?

I am supposed to still be eating 1/4 cup of food at a time, but I do stretch it sometimes to 1/2 cup. I know when I have had enough because it still makes me soooo sick! I try really hard to stretch out those 1/4 cups/2 ounces of food over six feedings a day, but like everyone else, I overdo! LOL!!! I always have protein first, but I have so many probelms with constipation that it is really important for me to get in some veggies like raw spinach and stuff on a pretty regular basis. I use a small/luncheon size plate and it has very little food on it, some of which I leave. Did that help any????? Hope so, I just kinda eyeball it at each meal and snack. Hugs! Jacqui 288/183/150

it depends on the food. Meat, I am lucky to get 2-3 oz at a time. I can eat a whole Banana. Other things, I am at about 4 oz.

OK after reading everyone else's portions I feel like a piggie! I can eat 3 oz of solid protein and quite a few bites of veggies, fruit or carbs at one sitting. When it comes to just a snack or something I can do the whole 1 serving yogurt or pudding and some fruit. My favorite fruit snack is a whole banana cut up, some fresh berries and 2 TB of whipped cream! I have to force myself to stick to my portion controls b/c I can eat far more than an average WLS patient but I swear it is b/c our surgeon moves us through the phases so darn fast from the get go. It seems that all os his patients, that I have personally met, are eating about the same portions that I am at this point. OYE!

I'm trying to watch my intake as I thinK I can eat more than I should. I also think that I have a tendency to eat faster than I would like. I really have to work at not eating carbs since they go down so nicely and are my favorites. I usually eat 3/4 of a filet mignon steak but can't seem to eat as much chicken or ground beef. Now I can drink as much liquids as I want and it doesn't seem to bother me. Guess I'm stretching my pouch a little. I've lost 93lbs
