Portion sizes

[stacyjo615 2]

I have noticed that a lot of you eat a small plateful of food for your meals. My surgeon told me I should eat between 1/4 and 1/2 cup of food 5 times a day. I'm starving all the time, and know it is because of the small amounts of food I am eating. It scares me to eat more than that size portion because I'm scared to death of something going wrong. Does anyone else have these issues or concerns?

Same total amount of food allowed per day. You just get to eat more often. Are you getting your Water in? That seems to really help me with hunger.

Sometimes you think you are hungry but in reality you are thirsty. So as Tara asked are you drinking all your Water.< /p>

if you are feeling to hungry with the small amounts 5 times a day... try to keep it to a cup of food 3 times a day.. that way you are more satisfied? Of course ask your Dr about it and see what he tells you.. I know most eat between 1/2-1 cup per meal 3 times a day.. because the band if suppose to help you feel satisfied for 4hrs ish.
