Apple, that is so helpful! Thanks for responding. I didn't realize the volume was so much smaller than expected. And you're absolutely right about the body cues. I can't yet tell what's hunger versus surgery pain. Thanks again!

Another great way that weighing your portions helps is to record accurate amounts you actually ate. If I weigh out 5oz and don't eat it all, I reweigh what's left. That helps me to know how much of that food is enough. As you move on to solid foods and are feeling even more restriction this will be a good way to prevent that over full feeling.

That's a great idea. I can do that. Thanks for the guidance!
