It depends on what it is, but I'd say about 4-4.5 oz max. (As an example, I can 3.5 oz of salmon with 1 oz of green Beans, but I can only eat 2.5 oz of hamburger steak with 1 oz of green beans. I could probably eat more than 4.5 oz of cottage cheese, but I restrict myself to a 4 oz portion because of the carbs.)

I'm kinda nervous because I'm already at 8oz. Like today, I had grilled chicken parm, I cut it up and filled up an 8oz container . I didn't weight it tho .. but I feel like I'm eating too much now . It does depend on the food but I don't go over 8 oz even though sometimes I feel hungry still

5.5 oz's max. Usually 4. But if I'm super hungry or I'm on my period than I can eat a little more. Not sure why.

I don't drink liquids before or after eating and I follow the guidelines pretty strictly. Though I am human and make choices sometimes to veer off and eat something purely decadent. lol! What happens is I end up being hungry pretty quickly afterwards. I find when I stick to the Protein rich diet I'm hungry 4 times a day. If I eat stuff that isn't protein heavy I will be hungry again within an hour.

I can eat about 3 oz of really dense Protein like chicken or beef, or 4 oz of soft fish like salmon or cod, usually accompanied by about 1/4 to 1/2 cup of vegetables (I only weigh my protein). If I'm eating Soup, I can do about a cup now, depending on how much dense protein it contains. I eat about 1/2 cup of greek yogurt, with maybe 10 blueberries, in the morning.

I'm 9 mos out yesterday.

I can eat about 2oz of chicken or fish and a couple bites of vegetables but if I drank a shake 11oz eazy yogurt 6oz very easy. I call those my sliders easy down hungry later but if I'm feeling sick it does help w getting Protein in

Hi there, 6 months here. I eat about 3oz of meat and then some veggies and 1/4 -1/2 cup of rice/pasta. Sometimes no carbs and more veg, depends on how I feel. I've lost 73 now. But I would suggest weighing the food to be sure of the amount.

I can't agree more. I have a scale at work and home. It's invaluable to me. Because food can be deceptive and our eyes aren't always the best measuring cup. lol!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
