Eating at 5 months out

So I am just about 5 months out from surgery and wondering what amount everyone was eating around this stage? I was averaging about 1/4 cup at each meal up until last week. Suddenly I find I can eat MUCH more! like 1/2 cup of dense protein and sometimes a bit more. This came on suddenly. I don't want to over eat. 

I have days where I can eat more than others. I call them my "big pouch days". Others I can barely handle 2-3 oz.

Oh, I think I was eating about 1/2 to 3/4 cup at that point.

wow-i must have a bigger pouch than most-i am probably eating at least cup of food at most meals - i still eat a lot of soft food like yogurt, etc....last night i tried to eat a costco turkey burger patty-it is about 5.5 ounces, i was only able to eat about 2/3 of it.....but doing well on the weight loss so far with 92 pounds lost in 5 months.   My sister had VSG done about a week after me, and I swear i eat more than she does.   We are all different, just do your best to get in your doctors prescription of protein/calories and you will do fine.  

Thanks to both of you for answering! It was so sudden that I could eat more that it scared me!! Glad to know it's normal!

I eat about a cup of food total per meal. Give or take some meals and some days. I had notice also about 5 months out my intake was more that I made an app't with my NUT thinking I was doing something wrong. She assures me nothing was wrong and I was doing everything right and was eating the appropriate amount. Keep up the good work!!!! You are doing just fine

I eat about 3/4 c of food per meal.

I'm 4 months out and if I eat 1/2 cup of actual food all day it's a miracle. I'm envious-lol !!

I'm 5 months out and my plan calls for 4 oz of protein per meal + 1/2 c of fruit or veggie w/ 2 meals per day.  My plan doesn't allow for snacking but an extra protein drink is allowed if you are hungry or need to up your protein.
