I had my surgery October 22nd and I can only eat about 3 oz. of cottage cheese or yogurt.

I have had a hot dog with out the skin and no bread, however I am only able to eat about half of it.

I eat about an ounce and a half of chicken, beef, or turkey at any sitting.

I still can't eat veggies at the same time as my Protein. I am ok with snaking on 5-6 small meals a day. The only thing I wish is I could have a few things at one time.

No matter what, your stomach capacity is never going to go back to what it was, so take comfort in the fact that even if it stretches, your capacity is still greatly reduced.

What I've found is that the more "solid" something is, the less I can eat of it. So, I can eat, say, a half cup of Soup with a couple crackers, but only a couple slices of deli meat before I'm full.
