Since being dilated I should be eating the same things a normal, non-complicated RNY pt @ 6 months out should be eating. How much is that? Any ideas? I have an appt with my NUT/surgeon but it's not until next Wednesday.

Could you call and ask them? I would think that discharge instructions would have that information.

I would call the NUT and asked her, but I'm thinking it was between 1/2 cup and 3/4 cup depending on what the food was. I also did 3 protein drinks a day in addition to the meals.
I still pretty much did protein first and tried to keep my protein numbers up over 100 per day, that did not leave much room for anything else.
I tried to find it in my notebook, but it just has protein first and over 60-70 grams per day.

Good luck with your appointments. I'm the wrong person to ask this question, at 6 months, I was way behind schedule with food!

What LInda has said sounds about right. Of course at that point if it was dense protein I could only handle 2 or 3 ounces.
