How many bites per meal?

[BigD35 2]

I was wondering how far out post-op are you? And how many bites per meal are you typically having ?

Nearly 5 months out and I can eat 1 to 1&1/2 cups of food (8 to 12 oz) at my evening meal. So I must select good Proteins and veggies. I avoid most carbs and no simple sugars.

Don't know how many 'bites' but I do still eat with a baby spoon (cute eh?)

I am almost five months out and I eat between 6 and 8 ounces per meal, depending on what it is. As with Arts137, I don't count the bites, but I do know by sight how much I can eat, and I know how my stomach feels when it is full, so I focus on eating until I am full but not too full, and I do not count how many bites. I guess if they were big bites, it would be 6 or 8 bites, but I take really small bites and chew really well so that is not really a good measure for how I eat.

I'm starting month 11 and can eat between 3/4 cup and 1 1/2 cups depending on the food. meats fill me up the fastest and I can't hold as much. Vegetables, I can eat more of, I think it's because they are mushy and take up less space.

You might watch my video, it goes over the amounts of food I could increasing eat over the months post op.
