lea3277 6 Posted June 30, 2011 I am two weeks post op today and have been told to start eating soft foods. I am just needing to know portion sizes. About how many ounces total per meal do you try to get in? At this point, I am not overly hunger but can tell it is coming back compared to what I was right after surgery. I am afraid I am not eating enough right now, but at the same time I don't want to overdo it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dmg223 1 Posted June 30, 2011 Im surprised your Dr, didn't give you more specific guideline. I started on mushy foods this past monday and I've been having 3 oz of a Protein & 3 oz veg a day plus one 3 oz of cottage cheese as a snack if needed. I got a very detailed list of things I can and can't have plus serving size for each. Good Luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Liza<3 1 Posted June 30, 2011 I had instructions to only eat 1/4 cup and now I can do 1/2 cup... I had my surgery May 3rd. I believe it was 1/4 till you have ur 2wks check up and from there they should advise you more on what you should eat. Every Doctor is different. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shakey88 37 Posted June 30, 2011 I will be two weeks post-op on Monday. I also received a list of foods I can have, but my doctor wants me on a pureed diet for 3 weeks after the 2 weeks of liquids and then I can start soft foods. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
