Quantity Question

How much can you eat assuming its solid food and how far out are you?

I'm a year out and I eat 2 oz of solid Protein and a couple of bites of green Beans. I can eat 1/4 of a burger no bun. Things like Soup is a different story I can easily eat a cup. I cannot tolerate bread, Buns, Pasta or rice which is ok with me.

I was sleeved on Jan. 15th and find solid foods a bit heavy. Kind of feels like it gets stuck. Much easier to eat soft foods at this point. I did eat a few bites of chicken today ~ just made sure I chewed really well.

I am 5 weeks out and i can eat 3 turkey meatballs or 1 piece of tilapia (I buy the frozen individually packaged ones) I ate a boneless skinless chicken thigh today with no problems. I can't have any sides with my meals though.

I am 5 weeks out and am having problems with fish that is any way remotely solid even when flaked into little bits. It doesn't help that I am having a hard time knowing when I am full. I take little bites, chew well, and go fairly slow. Any advice?

I am 4 weeks out and can have one egg, or a mini baybel cheese with a slice of turkey. I can have a couple bites of chicken or fish but here's what I do so I don't get sick (warning it's kind of gross!): I chew and chew and chew without swallowing then when I want to swallow or when the food is sliding down my throat, I 'pull' the food up from my throat and back into my mouth to chew more and make it into a paste. If I get a piece of meat that can't be pulverized enough I *discreetly* spit it into my napkin. Have yet to get sick or anything with this method. Hope this helps!

I was wondering this exact thing today! I actually sent a message to my NUT about it. It's amazing how much I can eat varies so much depending on what the food is.
