Post op portion size

What is y'all's recommended portion size for your post-op liquid and mushies diet? Mine is only 2oz! Seems sorta small.....:biggrin:

maybe i'm not reading my book right but my surgeon says to drink until full. but i have no clue how much that is? i'm having a difficult time distinguishing between full and hungry! i swear I feel totally normal, like there's no band in there!

ok i read my book again, and it says my Fluid goal is 48-64 oz per day with 60-80grams of Protein a day. My sample menu suggests drinking 8oz of Water over 2 hours.

I am to eat (full liquid stage) 4 oz. about every 3 or so hours.

My instructions said 4 oz 3 X a day also w/ liquids between the 3 meals.

This is for the first 30 days. After that 1 - 1 1/2 cups 3 X a day w/liquids between.
