What should my portion size be and how many times a day should I eat that portion?  I feel like i eat too much sometimes and I'm afraid of stretching my stomach out again too much.  

This is what I ate today:
1 string cheese and 6 oz of yorgurt for breakfast
8 oz of chicken breast for lunch 
8 oz of Chicken/veggie soup for dinner

Is this too much, Please help!

How do you feel after you eat? Does your tummy hurt? It seems like I remember reading in our material from Advanced Bariatric Center that at one year you can eat about 1 cup. I don't remember though. Maybe someone with more time out can give you a better answer. Take Care!

My tummy doesn't hurt but I do burp a lot and sometimes I don't burp at all.  I did get a lot of responses on the RNY forum so it sounds like everyone is instructed to eat no more than 1 cup of food at each meal so I guess i'm not doing too bad.  I'm getting paranoid now because i'm 5 lbs away from goal and I seem to have difficulty shedding those lbs off.  Hopefully with my increase of activities these next few weeks I will be able to reach goal by the time my 1 year surgery anniversary is here.

Thanks!

Ok...so you're nearly 1 year post op and that's all you're eating? Granted 8oz seems like a lot at one sitting, but something you need to look at is how many calories you're taking in through out the day. You may want to add in a small snack or two because your body may have adjusted and you might just need to mix things up a bit. GL!
