I gave up on the medicine cups almost immediately after I got home. My surgery was 11/30/2011. I don't like measuring things because it's too time intensive, and I have a 2.5 year old running around. I just eat what feels right to me. Don't get me wrong TONS of people measure out their food and I think that is really great for them and I wish I could sometimes but I just don't. When I was in Weight Watchers we had to measure out all of our food and I will admit it did help, and in time you just "know" what the right portion is and all that. You will get the hang of it, just take your time and do what feels right.

I use a 1/3 measuring cup. It works for me Also if I'm eating fish - which I do daily - it is usually pre-measured portions that I eat 1/2 of a small amount (like 2oz of a 4 oz peice). I should add that I use a 2tbs spoon for something heavy like hummus.
