hi there :) i guess it depends on the food you are eating and the size the surgeon made your pouch really. id go by what your pouch tells ya. if its satisfied stop. but at 2 mo out i was still using 1 0z elixer cups to measure everything and a half cup measuring cup. if its liquids or a water based type thing like sf jello or soup or yogurt, youll most likely be able to eat more, but if its cheese, eggs, meat, nuts, youll not be able to eat as much. i was eating anywhere from 1 to 2 . depended on what it was. also, watermelon, popcorn, lettuce, these things break down while they are still in your mouth so those dont fill the pouch up as fast either. best of luck to you. :)
