do you measure things i put mine into cup and half cup cups, and then you realize it not that much really that your eating i,m 6 weeks 5 days out and worried about the same thing 
Hi
I am 3 weeks post op and still on puréed foods, I have been told not to go onto solid foods untill eight weeks.
You sould also not eat untill overfull but dish up a measured amount and eat that and no more. At this stage you should be dishing up and eating no more than a ramakin sized dish, and after a year no more than a tea plate. Don't ever dish up more than a tea plate or else you will be tempted to force more in and end up stretching you pouch.
Portion control is what ts all about, WLS is only a tool to help, you can work against it if you wish, but why go through all that if you don't want to stick to it. It's very easy to ruin all that has been done, DON'T do it.
Hope this has been of help.

hun can you say what and how much roughly you are eating in a day and i will see if its as near as me... the reason i say that is im 16 weeks post op and i can eat quiet a bit.... im still losing and my dietician says all is good. what you have to remember is we are all different..some people can only eat a few mouthfulls..whereas i can eat a whole tea plate full.
As long as you are btween 800 and 1200 cals a day, your having over 60g of protein a day... and you are not putting on weight the all sounds ok to me xx

I would say that sounds pretty good to me. You're certainly not going over the top. My dietician says that what you eat should fit comfortably into a muller light pot. Make sure you're eating plenty of protein and if you're not top up with a glass of milk, milky coffee or a protein shake.

Well it sounds like you are all doing well yes we are all different but use the guide lines the hospital gave you i agre with the ramakin and the muller light pot and the tea plate you kow then that its about right. I am 7 months post op and only on a couple of times have i felt i ate 2 much if you think its too much then it probably is. Stick with what you know n you'l be fine x

Sorry I just read that you were on solids, I did eat everything you've mentioned except salad as my team said not until 8 weeks when I was about 6 weeks so your probably fine hun! Every one is different I could only manage a few spoons of anything but I know others that could eat more. If your team say it's all fine then I wouldn't worry yourself. X x
