2 years out...need to know how much

[Guest guest]

Has anyone in here asked their surgeon as to how much food at one

time we are to eat? Say, you are having chicken breast for supper

with green beans. Meat and veggie. How much chicken and how much

veggie? I was wondering how much the pouch can hold at one time,

safely, after 2 years out of surgery. I never fill full. I eat, and

when I eat too much, I usually end of throwing it up. I can eat an

entire six inch subway sandwich, bread and all at one time and keep

it down, but just barely. But, you see, I don't want to keep doing

that. What I want to do is measure my food before I eat it so that I

will get just the right amount. And I don't know how much. Should

it be like 4 ounces of hamburger and 2 cups of green beans? I have

been on a diet recently that required me to eat, at lunch, four

ounces of meat and 2 cups of salad...and for supper, 4 oz. of meat

and 3 cups of vegetables. It has been very very very difficult to do

this. I am hurting my stomach, and usually in pain. So, this is why

I need to measure the APPROPRIATE amount of food for my pouch and

then eat it. Does anybody know???
