I'm almost 2 weeks post op and I'm on soft foods, but I'm afraid I'm eating too much. Just wondering how much others eat (in ounces) at this stage?

I was allowed 2 tablespoons of soft food three times a day.  In between meals I had to drink a protein shake and water.

About 1 ounce was probably my max. I would always measure out 1/4 cup, but would only be able to eat about half of it.

Gosh. I've been having 1.5-2 ounces with no problems. I guess I better cut back :0

At 2 weeks I started pureed foods and I was able to eat two fluid ounces per meal.

I was told 4 oz, or 1/4 cup. Sometimes I could finish that, sometimes not, depending on the food. I could eat 4 oz of yogurt easily, but eggs no way. I think it really depends on the food. It is unlikely that you are eating too much.

It really depended on the food but about 2-4 ozs at a time.  More of things like yogurt,  if it was tuna or chicken salad probably not even 2 ozs. Even now at 7 weeks post,  I can eat a 5 oz container of light and fit greek yogurt (coconut vanilla flavor is amazing btw!) but I could never eat 5 ozs of chicken or beef or any dense protein

Two weeks post op my allowance was technically no soft foods, just liquids. Three weeks and I was allowed one teaspoon to start, every two hours.

SLEEVED 21 May 14 with Dr. B. Greene. Max weight 470 lifetime; 395 pre-op; goal weight 190. Current weight 217; 178 lost so far, 27 to go and keep off.

I was 2 weeks on Thursday past.  My docs said I could progress at my own speed after my 1 wk checkup.  I can eat 3.5 oz of protein and a bite or two of other stuff.  Tonight we had roast beef mashed potatoes and peas.  I ate a slice of meat, two bites of peas and one bite of potato's and was full.  I eat 3.5 oz of chicken salad.  If it is soup I can eat 6-8 fl oz.  I can eat 3/4 of a Wendys small chili.  I was freaked out when I read on here that other people were only eating a tbsp or two so called my docs.  They said to trust and listen to your body that it knows what it can handle.  They said you can't do any harm without first experiencing major pain.  I haven't had any problems tolerating anything.
