                   later i prob will have a blueberry yogurt..     is 4 ounces to much?? for a meal??

 Hi there,

Where are you from?

I'm 2 mo post-op, and exactly one month ahead of you.  It sounds like you're doing great, and staying right on track...why do you think you're eating wrong???

i see most people are eatin like 2 ounces n i eat that most of the time but once in awhile if its something i like i can eat more.. up to 4 ounces.. i am from vassalboro..

Who eats what varies greatly, just depending on who you are, and where you are in the process.  When I was in my first few weeks (month) after surgery, I ate MORE than I eat now, but then again, having just come off a four-week liquid diet, I think there was some extra space in my intestines, etc.  I eat less now than I did then.  I'm eating about 2oz now, but was probably eating about 4oz then.

I wouldn't worry to much about it.  If you're taking 30 minutes to eat your 4oz, and your satisfied when you're done (and not FULL), 

I hope you're doing well!!!  Feel free to throw out more questions!

Have a great evening!
