Portion Sizes
I haven't had a sandwich yet - too much bread. I can eat something in a whole-wheat wrap, probably about half of the wrap, or a full wrap from Wendy's or McDonald's. I haven't tried pizza yet - I don't think I will for a long time. There is no way I could eat a whole chicken breast, but probably just less than 3 oz at this time. I can eat about one-third of a regular hamburger patty.
I agree with the others. I am 15 months out and I don't think I could eat a whole sandwich. I've only eaten bread a couple of times but I do wraps. Pizza, I ususally pick of the toppings but have had the crust and could not eat a whole slice. Chicken, about half a breast - maybe 3 oz or so. Now Wendy's chilli - I can eat a large chili no problem. Yogurt, I can mix a carbmaster yogurt with a sliced up banana and add 1/4 cup of fiber one cereal which ends up being a huge bowl and I can eat the whole thing. Slider foods you will be able to eat bigger quantities. Dense protien and bready stuff, not so much.

Good morning!
I'm 2.5 years out -- so my portion sizes are much different than someone newer than me, obviously. Once you start eating regular foods you'll be doing about 4oz to 6oz at a meal depending on what kind of food it is. For me, I can easily do 8oz to 12oz at a meal.
Yes, I can eat a sandwich.

A typical pizza looks mor like this (tortilla pizza)
If I actually cook and make a "square" meal, it might look like this --- 4oz turkey mignon, bean salad and veggies
My Recipe Index is packed full of yumminess!

I agree with what everyone has said so far. Slider foods are easy peasy, but I have to be careful to not eat more that I should.....just because it fits doesn't mean I should eat more! As for sandwiches; regular bread nope, not gonna happen, however Arnold thins are great and actually let me eat a sandwich.
As for pizza, I eat it about once every 2 to 3 weeks, I have thin crust BBQ chicken....yummy, I can usually eat 2 to 3 pieces depending on the size of the pizza. If you've never eaten thin crust give it a try I used to hate thin crust, but now LOVE it!
