6 weeks post op

I had my bypass 6 weeks ago and was wondering about portion sizes. For example tonight I had a one egg omelette and probably managed about 3/4 of it. Is this normal? Should I be able to eat more by now? x

I'd say that's about right. I used a ramekin for my food in the early days

Lippy - yes, I agree. I think that's about right. And if you are not chucking it up, then so much the better. I found weeks 6 - 10ish very hard. After about week 12 it all fell into place some how. You will inevitably be able to eat more fairly shortly but for now it's tiny bowls. Be strong - you are doing just great xx
