How many ounces of soft food could you eat at 2 weeks post op?
At 2 weeks I started pureed foods and I was able to eat two fluid ounces per meal.

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
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.
