anjb07271 24 Posted November 25, 2012 I don't know what to eat !!! I am starting solids this week and I keep hearing eat a cup of food ...does that mean Protein and veggies should add up to a cup? Should it be a 1/2 cup each? I need some ideas what to eat...I am so confused Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FLORIDAYS 3,040 Posted November 25, 2012 My dr suggest my portions for every meal be as follows... 3 oz Protein 1/2 c veggies 1/4 c startch That is a little over a cup but most of the time I cannot eat it all... I also limited myself to 1000 calories per day for maximum results but check with your dr on what is right for you. 1 ☠carolinagirl☠ reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hely88 883 Posted November 25, 2012 I eat half a cup three times a day. If you dont know what your doctor recomends you need to contact them before you start eating. Every doctor is different! Congrats on your band please make sure to follow your doctors rules. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
