How much are you eating?

[JJB 2]

I was just wondering how much your Dr. has you eating. I was told to eat 4 ounces 3 times a day with no Snacks in between. Just wanted to see what the normal amount is for everyone. Thanks.

The "Lap Band Owner's Manual" my doc gives out says to aim for 1 cup per meal, which is what I generally do.

My Dr said between 3/4 to 1C. He also wants 3 meals a day, 4 hours between each meal and no Snacks.

I can eat more than 1C at times, and I do have popcorn (pop secret 100 calorie bag) but I'm losing weight at a good rate so he doesn't seem to mind about the quantity or snack.< /p>

My doc just says to eat normally - basically 3 meals, eat till I'm satisifed, eat a snack if I"m actually hungry in between meals. Most days I eat 4 times.

It can be all over the shop though - I do have to work at not just grazing all day long and never eating a proper meal - or days like today when I've been out to a playcentre with kids and their friends. I've had about 8 cups of coffee today and only just now ate half a sandwich - its 4pm here and that's the first thing I've eaten all day.

Most days are good days though.

No wonder everyone is starving and not thinking their fills work! Eat normal servinga and you will lose, God willing. I eat 3-4 oz of Protein and 1 cup of salad or veggies for llunch and dinner. For Breakfast it is either a cup of eggs and one pancake, once a week or a pack of weight control oatmeal daily.

I do not snack on a regular basis (yesterday I ate 3 fig Cookies...5 Cookies a serving 125calories and somedays I may have a kiri cheese sqaure). I had to stop buying Peanut Butter cuz it would call me to the kitchen and force me to eat spoonfuls of it all day!
