richkatrina 0 Posted January 15, 2015 I am 5 weeks out and I was just wondering how much food is everyone eating? I don't feel like I'm eating a lot but I do fill full after just 4oz's. Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ProjectMe 909 Posted January 15, 2015 I'm at 4 weeks out. It depends on what I am eating. If it's refried Beans, 3-4 ounces. If it's tuna or chicken, an ounce. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sweetie716 270 Posted January 15, 2015 I'm 5 weeks out today. I eat 2 cheese sticks for Breakfast, one between working out and leaving for work (5:30 or so), the second around 9:30 or 10 in the morning. lunch is a premier Protein shake. I eat around 4:30-5 and again between 7:30-8. Those are my two times where I eat some meat. I always measure out 3 oz of meat (chicken, turkey, fish, etc.). Typically in MFP I come out between 62-72 g of Protein and between 475-550 calories. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
richkatrina 0 Posted January 15, 2015 I can't eat 4oz's of meat yet, Soup and Beans are easier to eat 4 oz's of. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alwaysvegas 702 Posted January 16, 2015 (edited) I'm over 5 months out and I eat 4-5 oz per meal (3 oz Protein + 1 oz veggies) per meal and I generally eat 4-5 meals per day. I feel perfectly full for several hours after eating 4 oz. I randomly track my calories to get an idea of what I'm consuming and it's around 1,000 per day.

CheleLynn45 615 Posted January 16, 2015 I will be 3 months post op this Monday and I can eat between 2-3oz of meat or cheese. I found recently that I can eat one whole P3 Protein pak from the store. I use these when I can't think of what I want or don't want to cook. I am still doing two shakes and one meal for most days, maybe once or twice a week I do one shake and two meals. I am usually between 65-80 grams of Protein, 8-10 sugars or less and 450-550 calories. Sometimes 600 calories on gym days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PrincessDeb 43 Posted January 16, 2015 It depends on how hungry I am and what I am eating. There are times when I can eat 3-4 oz of mashed potatoes, but other times I can only eat 2oz. I usually eat about 2oz of chicken, turkey, or fish at a time. I try to eat 4-5 times a day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
