Hi everyone, can someone please tell me how much food you can eat?

I got my first fill on October 29th, I got 2cc put in and I think everything is going good. Nothing gets stuck, and I have not pb'ed yet. (thank god) I eat slow, and it takes me about 20 min. to half an hour to finish my food. I would say I eat maybe 2/3 of a cup at a time. My sister thinks I'm not getting enough so I really would like to know how much everyone else can eat.

As long at that 2/3 cup is solids........I think that sounds perfect! Make sure you are taking in lots and lots of water too!!!!

I eat about 1/2 (solids) to 2/3 (if I cheat and have some mashed potatoes) of a cup of food at a time. I usually go about 4-6 hours before I feel hungry again.

Bread? Wow...haven't had any of that since the night before my surgery! Lucky you!

Eating any type of fresh bread is shear torture and pain for me. DARN!!!

I wish I couldn't eat. My first fill is scheduled 12/03/05 and I can eat anything and everything. I've just about gained all the weight I lost before and after surgery. I'm trying to be good and patient but I'm starting to get depressed.
