How much food do you eat before you feel that you can't take another bite?

( 1/4, 1/3, 1/2, or 1 cup)

It does vary from day to day, but on average, about 1/4 to 1/3 of a cup is about the max I can eat at a time.

Some people are like that...they are fine until one bite too much and it's awful after that. Just know that it's not the same for everyone. I never let myself get to that point..I get signals earlier than that...and I listen to them. I don't eat by the cupful exactly. I have 3 oz. of protein, 1/2 cup veggies, 1/4 cup carbs. I weigh and measure my food at home, but can eyeball pretty well when I'm out for a meal.

Again...don't assume it's like a brick wall. Pay close attention to the band, and to your hunger. Stop when you are not hungry..not when you are full. Good luck on your journey!

Thanks. I'm so curious as the process is still new to me. I'm 1 1/2 weeks post op. I'm going for my first fill feb 19. As of now I'm eating very healthy and measuring all my food. I will meet w the dietician for the second time in another week.

I'm in the green, and don't measure my food. I never really did measure, as my doctor did not set those guidelines. The key is and has always been, to take very small bites, chewed to a pulp, and let it go down before taking another bite. At the 20 minute mark, stop. When I do measure out (lets say chili for instance), I manage about ⅓ cup.
