How much should we be eating at each setting? And how can you tell how big your pouch is? I can eat up to 1.5 cups of food.

  Is your pouch 2 or 4 oz? I read on the Realize forum that our Realize pouches are 4 oz. I asked Dr C about it and he said those are just estimates. I am NOT a Dr but do feel that this info is important for us to know.

I was told to eat 1 cup per meal.  I can eat more, and sometimes do.  I haven't measured how far I could go, as I don't want to stretch out my pouch, you know?  I think it depends on how fast the food drains on how much you could eat.  You could eat more ice cream than... bread.  Ice cream would go right through, and bread would hang out.
