What's the right amount????



Recommended Posts

Does anybody know were I can find a plate that has the specific porportions for lap band patients. I'm pretty sure I'm eating more than I should.

I agree. Get a measuring up. If im not mistaken we are only suppose to be bale to take in a half a cup of food. Walmart have cute half cup and dup containers with the lids on them

As others stated, you need to use a measuring cup (or food scale when you can't use a cup). Even if a plate is the right circumference it won't stop you from piling on too much. Measuring food is the only sure way to make sure you're not getting more than a cup per meal.

I use an Ice Tea spoon and shrimp fork. There much smaller but they have a long handle so no one else notices your tiny flatware. Yes, I take them to restaurants.

i was told to eat about a cup of food (protein first, then veggie and fruit)...

i am sure if i tried i could eat more then i am suppose to but just because i can

doesnt mean i should....def get a scale and measure and def ask your dr or nutritionist

if you are concerned or just need a refresher ...as for plate, i use a small salad plate and sometimes a coffee cup saucer

Once I did see one on a web site but don't recall and it was not cheap, maybe $20-$30.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
