Do you guys have a certain time that you stop eating? Like no eating past 9:00 or no? Does it matter?

Well, I was told that it really doesn't matter more calories in calories out. I know a lot of people stop after 7 PM. I don't get home from work till 6:30 so 7 is dinner time.

My doc doesn't have a rule about when to stop, just that we eat 5-6 1 oz meals per day and that the first one must be within one hour of waking up. I never liked going to bed with a full stomach, but given the amount that we are able to eat, I've been okay eating right up until bed when I needed to get the Protein in.

I purchased the one ounce containers made by Rubbermaid. We also got the ones that show 4 oz but have marks where 1 and 3 oz are.

Good luck.

I use the measuring cups for liquid items. For Protein I weigh my meat. The amount that I can cram into a 2 oz portion cup is not 2 oz of meat.

I also went to Sam's and purchased a case of 2 oz portion cups so that I could limit the sizes for things and have to use a huge bowl for my 1 oz servings. Worked great when I was making the Jello for the liquid phase.

I also use the disposable 2 oz cups and I found some 1 oz Salad Dressing cups that work well too at Big Lots. They were cheap and it is helpful to have both sizes.

      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.
