I have been eating 3 meals a day. How much of the food should i be eating. I havent lost a pound in 2 weeks. I have no restriction since i had a fill.

My surgeon told me no more than 1/2 cup to 1 cup of food total per meal.

If you haven't seen a nutrionist, I highly suggest seeing one so you know what you should and shouldn't be eating.

My surgeon is strict with meals...each meal consists of 3 oz of lean Protein and 2 oz of a Fiber carb, measured by volume after cooking. I was advised to make good food choices, and not count calories.

Each surgeon seems to have a variation on the "rules", so it is best to check with the doctor's office to know what you should be doing for your meals.

I agree with others, consulting with a dietitian (nutritionist) would be very beneficial for you.

Best wishes...

My doctor never gave me a measurement for veggies but did say 3 oz of solid Protein.< /p>

my dr also told me "protein first, then veggies or fruit, then carbs." I was also told to stay up on fills, meaning if i was eating more than a 1/2 cup to 1 cup per meal, and really hungry in between meals to come in for a fill. Well it took my 6th fill a couple of weeks ago to hit the green zone , but i finally got there ! Now im full after about 3/4 of a cup with a couple of small healthy Snacks in between meals. The weight is now coming off much easier, so get those fills ! Makes all the difference ! ( down 45 lbs in 6 months !) Good luck !

Thank you for the post. I have only had one fill and do not think I really have any restrictions. The willpower is fading fast. My second fill is scheduled for July 25th.

I didn't have any restriction untill the 3rd fill.
