at 17 mos post op, i can barely manage 4 oz & if i do, i am very uncomfortable. 3 oz is my limit unless of course its soup etc. then 4 oz is ok.

I started out eating less than 2 ounces at a sitting. By the time I was 3 months, I could eat about 3 ounces. Now, at 4-1/2 monts, I eat 2-4 ounces, depending on what I'm eating, and when I last ate. Last weekend, I ate a lamb chop and a teaspoon of peas-- that is the largest meal I've eaten since the surgery. Usually less than 2 ounces of beef jerky will fill me and keep me full for a few hours.

It depends on the consistency of the food. If its dense foods, like chicken, 2 oz is alot and it can take you a few months to work up to more from there. Things like salad chew down to nothing and you can eat alot more than 2 oz. I think a better judge is when do you feel full? As soon as you recognize the full feeling-not stuffed or uncomfortable-just full, is when you stop eating.
