Question:
I am 1 1/2 weeks post-op...my surgeon sends us home on

A day for me may consist of....Breakfast: 1 scrambled egg & 1 4oz yogurt......Lunch: 1/4 of soup, 3 crackers, 2 Tbs cottage cheese....Dinner: 1/4 cup of soup, 3 crackers....I may snack during the day on a sf jello or a 4oz yogurt. I am sipping water all day....I have not encountered any tolerance problems yet....well maybe...if I eat too much, I get a knife like stabbing in the belly.... Please is this too much food?? This is less than what I was recieving in the hospital...I thought I had done enough research and would not need the help of the pioneers of this site...any info would be appreaciated!! thanx & prayers to all, Karan    — chance2lv (posted on June 6, 2001)

I was eating 1 oz. servings when I came home from the hospital. When I went for my first check up at 2 1/2 weeks he said I could increase my soup intake to up to 3 oz. since I thought I was still a little hungry on 1 oz. I know I couldn't have eaten as much as you listed at a time - maybe your pouch is bigger.
