Hi I was banded August 2013 and given instructions to eat. 3- 1 cup meals and 2 small Snacks. My friend had hers done and her dr said only 3 one cup meals no snacking? I know you should go by what you are recommended and I'm following my instructions to a t however very slow results. Mind you I'm not in green zone yet. I would please love others meal portion and opinion

Thank you

Well, as you have said, different surgeons give differnt instructions. My own would never have said a cup of food at one time. That is a lot of food! My surgeon did say I could have Snacks, but not the 100 calorie snacks that the companies market. So, he suggested low cal Jello, or cheese, or veggies. Best wishes to you.

Hi

Yep my surgeon said one cup 3x and then 2 small snacks. I'm curious as to what other eating plans others have. How much food were u allowed at a meal?

I do 3 meals and 1 snack. My surgeon orginally said 3 meals and no Snacks, but recanted when we talked and he told me that 4 hours is too long to go without having something. He said he likes 3 to 4 hours hunger free. Well, do the math and if you get up at 6 and stay up til 10p, every 3 to 4 hours does't work well.
