I am just curious how some of you are eating 12 weeks. Just curious if others are going by ounces or like by a cup? My dietician says you should only be able to eat 3/4 cup of food per meal at 12 weeks. I have other people that are sleeved like me that are eating more than that and still losing. Some are weighing there food. Just want some opinions on how other people are handling it. I just don't want to stretch anything out. So confused

I either measure everything, or know by the size bowl that I used to measure into (for instance cottage cheese fits nicely in half of one of my travel containers.) interestingly enough I have bowls from the 1950s that fit the exact amounts of many of the foods I eat. I noticed at one of my stalls that I wasn't eating enough calories.

I am 3 1/2 months out. I weigh my meat (3 oz) and most of the time measure my veggies (1/4-1/2 cup). Usually I can eyeball the veggies and don't really worry about it. I ALWAYS weigh my meat though. I used to only eat 2 oz of meat, but I work out consistently and needed more food.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
