i am 6 weeks post op. i would like to know how long does it take you to eat dinner .. ?? I had a 3oz piece of pork with one sliver(a bite) of a lemon potatoe .. i wanted to go slow and see if i could finish so i could get the Protein in. but its been 2 hours and i cant finish .. I did most the pork . I just wanted to kno should i just fill myself in a half hour time and forget about trying to get it in ???

Every doctor is different but my instructions say eat for no more than 30 minutes and then quit. I set my phone alarm and then eat what's left at another meal.

I would try to finish my meal in 30 mins. Prolonging the meal will only decrease your Fluid time. I'm 10 weeks out and can only eat about 2 oz. of Protein at any sitting. Any more than that and I feel very uncomfortable.

I am 3.5 months out, I take about 20-25 min to eat a meal. If I feel ful I stop, I don't force it.

Im 12 weeks out i can eat roughly 3-5 oz depending on if its a dense protien or soft and my rule of thumb is 10 min per 2 oz. so about 20-30 min
