Question:
What are the approximate quantities of pureed foods that should be eaten at a time?

It just depends on what it is. Some foods are heavier than others so they fill you up faster. But make sure you listen to your stomach telling you that it is full. Just a few table spoons might do it one day, and a little more the next day. So it varies. Your pouch is only 1 oz in size right now. Just make sure you don't eat too much. Best wishes to you.

Hi! At three weeks out I's say to measure out 4 teaspoons of food. If you have one of those medicine cups they work great. You will be eating about an ounce a meal for the next few weeks. Don't push yourself..as you can stretch out the pouch, and no one wants that. eat until you feel satisfied, not full. I used to eat four bites and quit. There was no hunger, so it was easy to quit. I am one year out now and made goal in 10 months. I feel great, and people say I look great. I just know I feel great and just bought my first size 4 capri pants ever! Congrats on your journey and be patient. Its the hardest part of this whole thing! Patience!Best of luck to you and hugs, kim
