I'm almost two years post op eat about 1cup to 1 1/2. I think that's way too much.

6 weeks out on Thursday.

I eat 2 to 3 ounces of Protein and 2 ounces of vegetables or fruit 3 times a day.

I rely heavily on the Protein shakes (I'm drinking Premier with 30 grams of protein and chocolate is the best). I try to have at least a half of one a day.

Out of curiosity, when you guys cite these quantities, what exactly is it you're eating?

For instance, I'm 8.5 months out and I can eat 2 cups of something like Split Pea Soup, but there is NO WAY I could eat that much chicken. In fact, I am lucky to get down 2 oz of chicken.

I can also eat like 10 oz of vegetables (cucumbers, tomatoes, bell peppers, etc) as a snack. Same with fruit.

I'm just curious as I see this come up a lot here and am just wondering what types of food you're referring to when you say X Cups or X Ounces.

It's probably worth disclaiming at this point that my plan seems to be very different from others. I am not (nor have been since day one) given quantities I'm allowed to eat (with some exceptions like keep oil/butter to 1 tbsp a day or less, etc). I am just given types of food to eat. In fact, I am encouraged to eat at least a pound of vegetables a day, preferably two pounds.

I'm 6.5 months out... I measure my dense Proteins at 2.7 ounces... that's all I eat when I eat that much. I measure out things like cottage cheese at 1/4 of a cup (for like a snack). If I eat veggies with my meat, I always keep my scale under 3.7 ounces

I eat three meals a day, usually like this Breakfast: 2.5 ounces of steak, Lunch: 2.5 ounces of grilled chicken, Snack, 12 pecan halves, Dinner: 2.5 ounces of taco meat with sour cream/cheese/salsa... late night snack is typically a decaf coffee with coconut creamer and SF syrup.

I've not eaten, nor do I think I could eat, more than 4 ounces in a sitting. I always measure unless I'm out at a restaurant.

I'm 7 weeks out and my NUT has us eating 5 mini-meals a day. I try to drink at least 1/2 Premier Protein shake (5.5 oz) in the morning. Second mini-meal has some type of meat (chicken, meatball, lean lunch meat) - 1 1/2 oz with 1/4-1/2 multi-grain or fruit serving . Third meal might be a cheese stick, Parmesan crisps, hummus or yogurt dip with cucumber slices, with 1/4 - 1/2 multigrain or fruit serving. Fourth meal is supper at home - 1 1/2 oz of meat (chicken, pork, etc) and some type of veggie - 1/4 cup and Fifth meal is the rest of my premier Protein Shake or glass of Fairlife milk.

Little over 3 months out here. 3 oz dense Protein and about 1 oz veggies or other is about perfect for my tummy. I have eaten on occasion 5 to 6 oz total but then I feel uncomfortable. I eat every 2 to 3 hours.
