Amount of food eaten at one year post op?

Hi friends, I had my "1st" birthday from WLS last week. I did an experiment tonight, measuring my meal to see how much I could eat. I had chili, (yummy!) and measured out a 3/4 cup serving, and was able to eat that comfortably. I think I probably could have eaten a few more mouthfulls, but no more than that. So is 3/4 to 1 cup about the average consumption of a postie that is as far along as me? I also had a skinless chicken thigh, a few spoonfulls of cottage cheese and some broccoli and cheese sauce the other day and figured if I mushed it up it would be about 1 cup. Has anyone actually measured their food this way? Just wondering if I'm "on par" with everyone else. Hugs, Kim S. Open RNY Nov. 4/02 (-155 lbs.)
