Yes, you will be able to eat more. I am about 7 weeks out. I eat about 2oz of meat and a few bites of veggies. Sometimes a little more and sometimes a little less. I notice it kind of depends on how solid it is. Like I can do a little more ground up like taco meat than I can grilled chicken.
 
It does get better your body will tell you when. Husband said I only snacked for long time after surgery. And that is what it felt like.
 
Yes, it does ease up as time goes on. I started out eating 1 Tablespoon of whatever solid food I was on. It took a while but I am now eating regular serving sizes.
