Question:
WHEN DO YOU START INCREASING YOUR FOOD INTAKE?

I'm now eating about 2oz. of food at 7 weeks out. When does your stomach stretch that you can start eating more? Or is this very gradual maybe an extra ounce every few months. Just Curious.    — Kelly* P. (posted on March 10, 2003)

Hi, again Kelly. I had surgery on 1/15/03, and my pouch was made to initially hold about 2 ounces. My surgeon and nutritionist told me that by 6 months my pouch probably would hold 4 ounces at a time, and it would probably hold 8 ounces at a year and after that. This seems pretty consistant with what I've read on this site about others who started with a 2 ounce pouch.
