Another post-op eating question...

Hi everybody,<br> I am 2 months out and have lost 72 lbs, as of my 6 week checkup and feeling really good. I started out with a BMI of 81 and now it is 69. Now for my question... <p> I can eat approximately 2 ounces of food per meal. Here's an example of what I eat in a day: <P> Breakfast: 1 scrambled egg Lunch: 2 oz tuna or chicken or turkey or fish Dinner: 2 oz tuna or chicken or turkey or fish <p> I cannot eat anymore than that. I cannot tolerate any of the protein shakes I have tried so far. I cannot tolerate beef or pork of any kind. I know I am probably not eating enough (about 400 calories per day), but this is the most food I can eat in a day, and at times I have to choose to give up one of those meals so I can get all my vitamins and medications in each day. Now, I realize I am only 2 months post-op and my pouch will stretch naturally over time, but is this the way everyone else was at 2 months also? I get in most of my water now and do not eat carbs at this stage of the game, per my surgeon's instructions. If I know everyone went thru this "no room for much" stage, I'll feel alot better.
