I'm 2 1/2 months out and was wondering around that time how many ounces (or whatever form of measurement you use to measure food lol) were you eating? I'm eating no more than 2 ounces for anything solid, and if it's Soup or soft (yogurt, hummus, etc) 4 ounces. I just wanted to see how I compared to other people! I'd love to hear from everyone! Thanks!

I was about the same. 1/2 cup or so if softer foods. 2-3oz of dense Proteins.< /p>

So when do you notice a real change in capacity, in terms of how much food you can get into your stomach? And can I ask how far out are you currently, and what's your normal serving size?

Hmm, I probably eating more then you.

I notice that I can eat 4 oz of liquefied food ( like soup/yogurt/etc) but solid food I usually can eat only 2 oz of Protein ( like fish/meat/cheese) but in addition I can eat another 3 oz of tomatoes. or 2 oz of veggies like squash/zucchini.

and Once I was so hungry that I ate 9 oz of tomatoes with fresh mozzarella. I was sure that I will return everything right away but it went down smoothly and I didn't feel any discomfort. but after that I never had another 9 oz again.

I'm about 4.5 months out now. I can do about 4oz of dense Protein, or about 8oz os softer foods. It was about 3-3.5monts when it seemed to take an overnight jump.

9 months out and I can have 4oz of soft protien, 2-4 otherwise...

...now, here is the tricky thing...I can have more, but I don't need it to feel full, and i think more is directly related to me feeling bad later,next day even.

I would keep you portions as modest as you can to satiate your hunger. measure before you eat! :)
