Hi,

  I have a question. How much do you eat at one sitting.   If you have 2 oz of chicken will you be able to eat anything else with it?  I'm afraid of eating too much at one time.   So the dr says 1/2 cup to 3/4 at a time so the whole meal you eat has to be within the 1/2 to 3/4.    Just not comprehending the amounts right.   Thanks for listening.

   Susan

Maxie, I still can only eat 2oz of protein, nothing else.. and it's been a few months..
At one month I was just testing the waters with solids.. usually an ounce and a half of very soft fish like flounder, maybe half a mashed up hardboiled egg, 2oz of cottage cheese.. and I ate very very slowly, like 30mins to finish my tiny portion. Any faster and I'd feel full way too fast. Refried beans with a little salsa and cheddar was one of my fav transition foods!
