Monday will be seven weeks since my surgery. I had a really difficult time transitioning from the liquid diet to food, but I finally have. I have been eating about 2 oz. six times a day. I measure everything out, so I know that I am eating what I am supposed to. I have also relied on my stomach. If I eat too fast or too much, I can tell it right away.
Today, I ate with friends at their house. I didn't measure my food, but I easily ate 3-4 oz. I know it is not majorly overeating, but I figured that I would get sick or that full feeling that I had been getting when eating my 2 oz. According to my surgeon's plan, I should still be eating about 2 oz. at each meal throughout the day. I know that we all transition and the stomach stretches some as we start eating real food. I just hope to get a sense of how much every one is able to eat. I don't know if I should be worried with 4 oz. and go back and re-start with liquids and get back to eating 2 oz each meal, or if eating about 4 oz. is normal seven weeks out.
Thanks for any/all insight!
John
