Well I ended up waking my husband up Monday night at around 11:30 in horrible pain.  This pain was worse then labor pain and I have had 3 kids.  He took me to the ER and they found I had a kidney stone and on top of that they said my potassium levels were dangerously low.  The ER dr said that it was a good thing I came in because I could have died.  I had to go on 2 bags of Potassium and take 4 potassium pills while I was in the ER over the night.  They did get my potassium levels up but they were still below normal.  After quite the problems trying to get the correct prescription of potassium I picked up the kind that disolves in the water.  I will be trying it in a few minutes lets hope I can stomach it.  I have and some problems that is forsure with a pouch that got extremely irrirated from stress that caused me to be in a lot of pain.  Saw Dr. Toder for that and she put me on 2 meds for my stomach.  Finally started to get my stomach feeling better when the whole Kidney Stone and Low potassium happened.  On a good note I have gone down 4 pant sizes already and I will be 7 weeks out on this coming Monday.    I am a bit frustrated with the issues that I have had.  I still can't get in much for liquids and food.  Anyways I thought I would check in with you guys. :)

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!
