It's double checking what the recommended portion sizes are. I believe it's 1/4 cup for veggies and carbs but can someone remind me the ounces for meats please.

This would be best discussed with your nutritionist or surgeon. Each one has slightly different criteria. I know that with my plan, in the early weeks after surgery, I was told 1-2 oz of meat and a couple of tablespoons of veggies at each meal, no more than 2 small servings of fruit a day and minimal carbs. After the first couple of months, my Protein size increased to about 4 oz per meal and 1/2 cup of veggies, 2 servings of fruit a day and still minimal carbs. I eat 3 small meals a day and 2 Snacks. Each snack also includes some form of protein. If I don't meet my protein goals through solid food each day, then I'll mix a scoop of powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury vanilla or Unflavored in 8 oz of 50 calorie orange juice and Water (half oj and half water) in the evening before bed.

Good luck!

Just as healthyme mentioned, each program has different recommendations.

For mine - we started out at 2 tbsp per meal immediately after surgery, then as the weeks/months progress we gradually work up to half a cup or 3 to 4 ounces.

Most of this for me is always supposed to be Protein, with only extra veggies if the protein isn't enough.

Don't think I'll ever get to the point where I can have 1/4 cup of veggies and we're supposed to avoid carbs as much as humanly possible. But again, this is specifically for me and my program. Yours may of course differ.

My program started us on 4oz of protein right after the liquid diet was over. Sometimes I get the whole 4oz in sometimes I don't. Depends on how dense the protein is. We only get fruits or veggies if we have room. I try to get a veggie in there every now and then for some fiber.
