Hello, I had RNY on 1/23/17 so I am 6 weeks out. I've notice that I can eat a lot of salad... my papaerwork says not to eat more than 4-6 ounces at this point, but I'm able to eat like 5oz of salad. With other things I can usually eat about 4oz and I don't get that full feeling, but I am satisfied so I do not eat more that what I'm allowed. I'm just a little worried because I'm in the "regular foods" stage and I'm seeing most people say that their punch only holds 2-3oz. Should I be concerned?

Its actually what you eat. Salad is lighter more of a liquid, and when chewed it becomes very small. If you tried to eat something dense like meat- 5oz you would be able to. It changes by what you eat. Ive noticed some things i can eat 4 oz others i can eat 2 and feel full. Dont worry you havent streched your tummy yet!

Thanks for the response, i'm actually starting to notice this as I add more variety to my diet. It's a huge relief because I was nervous at first.

Agree with this, I eat a lot of Soup and I can eat a pretty big bowl of it because it's mostly liquid. When I eat just meat and a veg I eat a MUCH smaller amount total.
