So I had the bypass on June 6 and I'm on stage 2 puréed food. My doctors office says if you can tolerate a 1/4 cup of puréed food you can move up to 1/2 cup. If I eat a 1/4 cup I don't feel satisfied but if I eat a 1/2 cup I'm satisfied. My wife is arguing with me cause she sees people on Facebook who can hardly tolerate food or water. I have no issues with water.
