How much is everyone eating?

I am 5 weeks out and I was just wondering how much food is everyone eating? I don't feel like I'm eating a lot but I do fill full after just 4oz's. Thanks!

    It depends on how hungry I am and what I am eating. There are times when I can eat 3-4 oz of mashed potatoes, but other times I can only eat 2oz. I usually eat about 2oz of chicken, turkey, or fish a

I'm at 4 weeks out. It depends on what I am eating. If it's refried beans, 3-4 ounces. If it's tuna or chicken, an ounce.

I'm 5 weeks out today.

I eat 2 cheese sticks for Breakfast, one between working out and leaving for work (5:30 or so), the second around 9:30 or 10 in the morning.

lunch is a premier Protein shake.

I eat around 4:30-5 and again between 7:30-8. Those are my two times where I eat some meat. I always measure out 3 oz of meat (chicken, turkey, fish, etc.).

Typically in MFP I come out between 62-72 g of protein and between 475-550 calories.

I can't eat 4oz's of meat yet, soup and beans are easier to eat 4 oz's of. :)

I'm 4 months. I have a Protein shake in the morning and 2 small meals for lunch and dinner. I eat anywhere between 600 - 850 calories a day.

I am 4 weeks out and I am eating between 700-900 calories on days and less than 500 on 2 days. I always keep my Protein at 60grams + and carbs on less than 50g..My diet is mostly- cottage cheese, yogurt, Protein shakes, canned salmon, some potatoes and liver with onions.

I'm over 5 months out and I eat 4-5 oz per meal (3 oz Protein + 1 oz veggies) per meal and I generally eat 4-5 meals per day. I feel perfectly full for several hours after eating 4 oz.

I randomly track my calories to get an idea of what I'm consuming and it's around 1,000 per day.

I will be 3 months post op this Monday and I can eat between 2-3oz of meat or cheese. I found recently that I can eat one whole P3 Protein pak from the store. I use these when I can't think of what I want or don't want to cook. ;)

I am still doing two shakes and one meal for most days, maybe once or twice a week I do one shake and two meals. I am usually between 65-80 grams of protein, 8-10 sugars or less and 450-550 calories. Sometimes 600 calories on gym days.

How many calories per day is normal ? I'm 1 week post op? Have an appt with NUT next week but want to track my cal intake as well so I don't over eat yet get the correct amount of protein

It varies depending on what stage you are in.

It depends on how hungry I am and what I am eating. There are times when I can eat 3-4 oz of mashed potatoes, but other times I can only eat 2oz. I usually eat about 2oz of chicken, turkey, or fish at a time. I try to eat 4-5 times a day.

I am 3 weeks out. I eat 3 small meals a day. Always chicken or fish. Protein shakes inbetween
