Margo,Thanks for your examples...I was beginning to think there was something wrong with me. I'm 4 months out and can eat about the same as you but more often, not even that much.

I never really did have restriction with liquids - but I have a TON of restriction with mushies and solids. Dr Aceves told me that my ability to drink pretty much as usual from early on after my surgery was just that I was healing well.

I am 7 1/2 months out and can still only eat at one time (Not ALL of these at once! I mean ONE of these at a sitting):1/2 slice of pizza on low carb thin crust2 ounces (average) of lean protein + a bite or two of veg

1/3 cup cottage cheese1 cheese stick wrapped in thin slice of turkey, ham or beef2 barbecue pork ribs1 egg with 1/2 slice whole grain toast1/3 cup of turkey, chicken or tuna salad1 Ryevita cracker with peanut butter

I am 10 days post op. I can consume I feel more the 3ozs liquid comfortably at a time. I try not to go over that, but I have noticed that I have come close and have no restriction feeling or discomfort. Do you think my pouch is to big???? I still feel hungry, but I am dealing ok with that.
