I was told not to worry during the soft food stage as it empties from the pouch really quickly. We should begin to eat a much smaller portion and feel full quicker when on real foods.

Hi Kirsty
I`m just 12 days post op and I`m having a weetabix for breakfast , 2 tiny spuds carrot and turnip mix and a bit of stewing steak all blitz and at 7 pm I had a 200ml high protein drink . But I have to make myself eat cos I`m not hungry at all . You must be ok cos you`ve lost a stone and 8 in 2 weeks Id be happy with that . Good luck and take care hun .

Sorry I am not sure how much you should be eating but with a 1stone 8lbs weight loss I would say you are doing great.

As others have already said, dont worry about the quantities you are managing. Once you get onto more solid food you will feel your restriction.

Be careful with the exercise though. Nothing too strenuous just yet!

While on the soft stage you can eat quite a lot but as your food becomes firmer the amount you will be able to eat will decrease. The amount is supposed to increase until you are eating a teaplate amount at which point you move onto the next stage in consistancy iykwim?
