help with soft food portions

[pixiedust5586 1]

I am 12 days post op and i am starting the soft food stage. I had chili for lunch today which has kept me full all afternoon.

The dr. said i can have thin sliced deli meats. I was going to have that for dinner. Anyone know the max i am supposed to have per meal if is isnt something i can measure in Fluid ounces? everything i have consumed up to this point has been measured by ounces or by a half cup scoop. I havent a clue how to measure meats?!?!?!?!

Depends on the cut of the meat. I use thin slices and eat ham, I find turkey and chicken to dry and it's harder to go down. But I eat 2 slices, small bites, and it fills me. Sometimes 3 if I'm starving, but I don't push it.

I have a food scale and that has helped.
