Is 8oz too much?
I was able to but didn't let myself. I am now a month out and try to stay at 4 oz at each meal but it's hard!! This diet is extremely stressful and it's hard to get advice because everyone is experiencing different things! Good luck!

Things I didn't expect my first month post-op
The head hunger!! The cravings are starting for me and I will be one month out tomorrow. I also weigh myself every morning and it's so FUN to see the changes. I thought I would have lost more weight by now but my dr says I'm right on track and just need to up my Protein. It's hard! Good luck to you!!

Here is what a typical day looks like: B: Premier Protein shake or Turkey Sausage (3 links) S: String cheese or Babybel Cheese L: 4 oz of protein and veggies S: Greek yogurt or cottage cheese D: 4 oz of protein and veggie I feel like I'm eating too much and the scale hasn't moved in over a week!! Suggestions please! I am getting so discouraged!

What's your day look like?
I had my surgery a week ago tomorrow and I start my phase 2. What is your typical day look like as far as how much you drink, eat(soups) etc. I'm wanting to make sure I don't over due it and I stay on track. I have been on clear liquids and can add cream soups in now. How many ounces are you guys able to eat at a time and how many times a day? Any advice would be great!
