eating too much-
Hi TJC!
Congratulations on your weight loss so far! As for how much you're eating, I wouldn't worry too much with 4-5 oz of steak-- 4 oz is a half a cup which is about what we're supposed to be eating at this stage. And 7 oz of chili, considering that it's fairly fluid isn't bad either. If you're very worried, you might talk to your surgeon and express your concerns and see what he/she has to say. I know one thing, if I eat the slightest bit too much I dump and am miserable for a couple hours. I'm not sure if I've helped much. I hope your surgeon can put your mind at ease. Let me know what you find out if you do talk to your doctor ok?
Welcome and God bless!!

Be glad that you are able to eat to some degree. I am 3 months post op and still can only get 3-4 bites in at a time. I have to start adding protien bars because i can't eat enough to get my protien in.
Definitely talk to your surgeon if you are worried, better to be safe than sorry.
Good luck
Trish
