16 Days PO: food intake POLL?

[Mjohnson4631 10]

Hey guys I'm 16 days PO , just wondering how much could you all consume around this time? A couple days ago I got to add banana and Peanut Butter to my diet, out of a whole small banana and a tbsp of pb I found I could only consume a few bites of banana and almost the whole tbsp of PB.. As far as like a cup of pudding I can eat like the whole thing? Is that normal? I see people post things that's a year out and still can't hold very much.. I'm just curious?!

Eat what you can without feeling overfull. You are healing and don't want to push it

I'm 16 post op and was able to eat a very small amount of roasted chicken

The volume you describe sounds pretty normal. pudding is a "slider" food so you can eat more, but that isn't always a good thing! At this point it's easy to eat too much so don't over do it!

I'm close to a month post op. I can get between 5oz to 7oz of food. It just really depends on what it is. I had some grilled chicken and yellow/red peppers, with mushrooms (all chewed to hell) for dinner tonight. It was about 6.5oz and I wasn't overly full, but perfectly satisfied. 6oz seems to be my intake right now. I don't think I've gotten anywhere near 8oz yet.

I measure all my food and eat 3oz at a time. If I still want something else I wait a few hours and repeat the process. I am afraid to stretch my stomach only a month in.

I am 17 days post op and food type changes what I can tolerate. So far chicken I can do maybe two or three oz if most and properly chewed, beef is a no go still, grilled tilapia was great and was able to do 3-4 oz (tons of Protein and goes down easy!)
