I'm 2 weeks post op and it seems like my stomach is much larger than it should be. It was my understanding that my new stomach would be 4-6 ounces in volume. But I can easily handle 1-1.5 cups of pureed food per meal. This is more than double what I thought my new stomach would hold. I've gone through a few posts and it looks like many of you don't eat more than 1/3 of a cup total per meal. That seems unimaginable to me. I feel like I've been ripped off. How much did you eat when you were 2 weeks post-op? How much can you eat now?
I'm seriously tempted to drink a bunch of water real fast until I barf just to find out what my new stomach capacity is.
