PattyGirl66 1,243 Posted January 3, 2013 Hi Connie, Your profile wasn't filled out so I will assume you already had surgery and are eating solids. You should eat no more than a 'cup' per meal. We usually break it down to this : 3-4 ounces of lean meat (protein), 1/4 cup veggies, 1/4 starch/carb. Or if you don't eat starches or carbs you can make up the other 1/4 with more veggies. Rule of thumb is never to eat more than a cup per meal. Hope that was helpful.... 3 A New New Dawn, 2muchfun and DELETE THIS ACCOUNT! reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tomander 614 Posted January 3, 2013 Connie many doctors also suggest 2 "healthy" Snacks if needed. I was never a veggie eating person... now I eat a lot of raw veggies with a great low cal dip I make. In my fridge I alway have cold chunks of turkey that I also snack on (along with dip)... great source of Protein and takes the edge of my afternoon hunger. Tom, Toronto Banded July 6 06 Wt.
