Question
How much food can I eat after surgery? 

Answer(s)
The gastric pouch although initially very small has a hole in the bottom so that a reasonable amount of food can be eaten if taken slowly. As time passes the pouch enlarges and where initially only one or two bites could be taken without a sense of fullness, later a small adult meal can be consumed. As it becomes possible to eat more food it becomes also more important to have developed good habits with regards to food choices.
