Confused

Had my surgery on June 6 and my first fill of 5.5cc in an 11cc band mid August. Show I be eating 4 ozs per meal? Or one cup per meal? I know to keep the focus on protein first. And what types of drinks are people drinking to stay hydrated. I feel like I am not drinking enough. I need an easy way to keep track of all this and get back on track.......please help

    1 cup of food total per meal. Drink Water, it's the best for hydration. I track everything I eat on an app called Lose It! It makes it very easy.

Check with your doc on meals. Mine says 4 oz protein and 1/4 cup veggies. I bless if I put it into ameasuring cup it would about 1 cup. I sip all day! I use and reuse the 32 oz Gatorade bottles so I can keep track if quantity. I drink 3 to 4 full bottles a day. I drink: water with lemon, diluted crystal light decay iced tea, diet Hawaiian punch packets, whatever just to keep the fluids rolling. Good luck!

I eat 4 oz of protein and the rest veggies to make up to a cup of total food. Water like mentioned above it the best, but crystal light is good too. Skim or 1% milk to get some calcium is also good. Best of luck to you

There's also a great website called myfitnesspal.com. You can track all of your food, exercise, and weight all in one place and it's free. When setting it up, it will give you some default recommendations for nutrition. I customized them to agree with what my doctor recommended. It's a valuable tool for me.
