:help:hey there guys i haVE A QUESTION i just went to the dr and he had to take some of my fluid out,because of problems ive been having with it. they told me to eat 4oz at my meals, now is that the whole meal ??because it just dont sound normal.i know this question must sound stupid , thats why i didnt ask the surgen thank you all and please help somebody.

I was under the understanding I was to eat my 4 oz of Protein first and then my veggies and fruit as I had room. That how I generally eat my lunch and dinner.

Good Luck-Hope the unfill does the trick for you.

:clap2:You ask that goofy Surgeon anything you want - it sounds to me like a question from someone who doesn't settle for winging it and cares about her health and understanding things clearly. Good for you - AND KEEP ASKING. That's what we pay them the big bucks for! LOL.

Four ounces is 1/2 a cup, which is about where we should be for an entire meal (between 1/4 cup and 3/4 cup). You should have your Protein first and then the rest of veggies or whatever.

I can only do 1/4 cup oatmeal for Breakfast, 1/4 cup tuna for lunch, and then maybe 1/2 - 3/4 cup for dinner. I've had one fill and am headed for my second one on the 21st.

Good luck to you...

Make, I am SO glad I am not the only one who gets stuffed on 1/2 cup of food! Yes, 4 oz is enough.

thank you guys really a big help. well ill let you know how its going. thank you again all.

yes 4 oz is great for me .too i've been using my new food scale and im doing a-okey .4oz is a lot more then it sounds .

but i still haven't lost weight that is odd any new suggestions

Melanie, I can only consume about 2 oz at a time. If you are not losing at 4 oz I would recommend another fill or cutting down to 800-1k calories a day. How much can you consume? 1 cup, 1/2 cup? For me protein is most important. I always start my day with a protein shake to ensure I get enough in. Good luck.
