I was told by my doctor 4 0z / half a cup of what ever your eating at each meal.But there are things that you can eat more of. I measure my meat, chicken and fish on a scale 2 or 3 ounces because I get full fast off of that. I also go by serving size according to whatever I'm eating. The most important thing is to Listen to your sleeve! Even if you measured out 4 ounces but get only 3 in and feel uncomfortable stop! I'm not sure what other might say about this but if I eat 4 ounces and am ok I eat a little more. Each time I eat its different. Sometimes I can eat 2 Ounces some times more or less. It isn't the density because it can be the same thing just a different time.

How big is the tofu slice? What is a spoon? Teaspoon, tablespoon or ladle? At six months I probably eat a little more Protein say 2-3 ounces and a 1/4 cup veggies. As others have said some days I can eat more than others, but not much.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
