I'm on the mushy stage now and I was just measuring food to see exactly what a cup of food looks like Portion wise and I'm surprised that it actually looks like a lot. Idk maybe it just me . I mean I know pre band I could eat waaaay more than a cup of food so I thought a cup of food should look small to me. Is it just me or does anyone else think a cup

of food looks like a lot more than it sounds like it would like. I hope I'm making sense sorry if I'm rambling. lol

Starting weight: 264.5 Current weight 252.6 Goal weight 160

(yes, i think so also)

but mostly i think it looks pretty good to me

The first time I went out to eat after being banded, I couldn't believe how much food was on my plate! Before being banded I wouldn't even have noticed, but after eating from a small plate, I was like Wow! It took me 3 days to eat it!

I feel the same way when I look at 1 cup of food. If I am having Protein, I weigh the protein andit i eat 6oz then i put 2oz in a cup or weigh 2 oz depending on what it is.

A steak of 5 oz even looks big.

With an intake of plenty of protein, you also stay fuller, longer.
