I can eat a pudding cup in 1 sitting...Normal?

[TexasRed1978 17]

I was sleeved on 6/25, and for three weeks followed my surgeon's strict liquid only diet. Now that I am on soft foods I've found that I can eat more than I thought I would be able to. I can eat an entire pudding cup in 1 sitting. Is that normal at this stage? (almost 4 weeks post-op)

Those are about 4 oz. I think that is normal, at least for me. I have a 4 oz dish and if it didn't fit I didn't eat it right after liquids. I'm a little more now depending on what it is.

yeah--you won't start feeling restriction until you are on solids. pudding is sort of a slider, like yogurt. Don't worry....

Don't you love that now that you are post-op, a "whole" pudding cup sounds like a LOT!?

Thank you. And, yes, it is kind of nice to think of one pudding cup as a lot of food!

I am 6 1/2 weeks out and I can eat 4-5 ounces in one sitting, but it takes me about 45 minutes because I take really slow bites.

I can do that too! I had thin lunch meat though one day and could eat less than an ounce. And stayed full a little longer tan something like yogurt or Protein shake. It is great that I feel like my yogurt cup is a lot lol

Where did you get a 4 oz dish?

Yes is normal. I love the new Jello flavors! I could also do a cup of greek yogurt. I get the fat free with vanilla and add small amount of apple sauce. It has 17 grams of Protein. Keep up the good work

I found some great little 4 oz brand new tupperware dishes with lids for a quarter each at a yard sale. Bought 10 of them and a few a little larger. hey are so perfect. I made sf egg custard and divided it up...yummy.I also found some great popsicle molds. I take almond milk, sf pudding and Protein power and mix it up. First time I did choc, today I am making vanilla with blue berries. What a treat!!!
