lch2516 80 Posted October 18, 2012 I do understand. I am eating 2oz of protien. If I can get in the the veggies I do. I can have 2oz of meat 1oz of veggies 1oz of starch or canned fruit. I haven't don't the fruit. I have only had squash. I find with fish I can digest more than if I eat chicken. I guess because it's softer. For a snack I eat cheese and 3 crackers. Yogurt but I can't really digest Jello to good. What did your doctor say about you advancing yourself? Are you still losing? Well I told him I tried some me and he told me no but I dont do it everyday n when I do I jus do 1oz... but ive lost 8lbs since he told me that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
