I haven't had the surgery yet (soon I hope!) but I am trying to cover as many bases as I can before the event. Does anyone know where I could buy - or if one even exists! - an ounces measuring cup/tube/pipette? Short of carrying around a shot glass with me in the first few weeks as I get aclimated to my new ounces-eating, I don't know how I will measure out 2, 4, 6 ounces. I travel a lot and eat in unusual circumstances so having a food scale is not practical. Thoughts?

Since I have a kiddo, I used the one ounce measuring dosing cups that come with the OTC meds.

I also was given a couple in the hospital, and I stowed them away in my bag to bring home.

You will learn and be able to eye ball your portion sizes. I ate a lot of those little tiny cans of chicken salads when I went to mushies. When I went to solids, I looked at the portion and tried to imagine it fitting into one of those cans.

When you first start solids, you won't be able to eat more than a few bites of anything, so you don't need to worry about measuring. You will feel full fast.

Yep I was going to say the same thing, I have not been able to get in more than I should at one time.

I'm interested in the exact measuring of food for protein's sake; I'll be keeping a food diary so I can make sure I am taking in the right amounts of protein etc. and my brain understands stuff better when I have hard numbers and portion sizes to attribute to so many grams of protein.
