Each person is different it's hard to say how much you should be eating at 4 months. The best answer is if you feel full stop. I know for me i was sleeved in 2011 and some days i can eat more and some day i eat less. Its never the same amount for me.

I was sleeved 9/12. I haven't measured my food for awhile but I would say I'm eating sometimes up to 1 cup or a little more.

I definitely measure everything, almost 6 months out and I weigh and measure it all.

Sweetsusie. How much do you weigh or measure? Is it supposed to be so many oz?

per NUT, i measured, volume portions all the time - 1/3 cup - 2/3 cup ie

at 4 months po i think you should have never stopped measuring your food - its too early, and many people continue to measure - then you won't accidentally over eat - larger portion - and digest too many calories

there i things that i frequently eat, like home made chili - i use my baby bowl - i know exactly how much i am supposed to eat, so in other words i don't measure any more

there are foods that i can guesstimate

but at one year post op - (not always) but i still do measure

I measure out 4 ounces of solid Proteins and veggies I don't measure because I barely eat a few bites. I have a scale to measure raw meats. I measure before I cook them.
