Hey everyone, how is everyone doing on portion control, I try to weight out as much of my meals as possible but I just want to know what's the normal portion you guys eat now??

I am 9 months post-op. I eat the same thing every day:

Meal #1: 1 scrambled egg with 2 oz of chicken breast

Meal #2: 4 oz of cottage cheese with 1 T sugar-free strawberry preserves

Meal #3: 3 oz chicken breast, 1 string cheese, and 10 ParmCrisps

Meal #4: 3 oz salmon, 1 oz green beans, and 10 ParmCrisps

Meal #5: 3 oz chicken breast, 1 oz green beans, and 10 ParmCrisps

Meal #6: 2 oz hamburger steak (93% lean), 1 oz green beans, and 10 ParmCrisps

Meal #7: 3 oz chicken breast, 1 string cheese, and 10 ParmCrisps

Meal #8: 4 oz of cottage cheese with 1 T sugar-free strawberry preserves

I hope this helps. Good luck!

Thanks it really does, I guess I should eat more maybe that explains my stall.

February Sleever here: I can eat most anything except a steak (not good) and fried potatoes (good:-).

I can hold about 5 ounces of food comfortably. If I take one bite too much I get all these weird sounds coming up that are really embarrassing. With dense food I eat less and I avoid sliders big time because it is difficult to control portions with foods that go down easy.

I occasionally will still drink a protein shake in the evening if I haven't gotten all my protein in for the day. I don't count calories but track 60-100g protein and 50g carbs a day. I started out at 25g carbs but incrementally upped it to 50g and am still losing.

I really have no appetite so eating has to be very intentional. I log all my meals but am not regimented about measuring and weighing anymore. I was at the beginning because I couldn't really gauge a portion. I do weigh or measure new foods. There are still days that I only get about 800 calories but I make sure I get my protein. Most days I am getting about 1,100 cals a day. I don't eat breads or sugar at all.

At this point it feels like I am eating normal portions. I don't feel like I didn't get enough like I did early on. That was all mental more than physical.

Take care
