I'm 10 weeks post op and not really sure if I'm eating too much. I eat till I get the full but not overly full chest feeling. I normally eat 2 to 2.5 oz of chicken and then 2 oz of a veggie(boiled broccoli or green Beans so far) Is that too much you think?

I don't think that's too much. If it's well chewed and you're not feeling uncomfortably full, it sounds like you'll have no trouble getting that Protein goal met. I'm at about 19 weeks and I can probably eat 3 ounces of chicken on a good day. Of course, it all depends on what other nutritional choices you're making throughout the day. :)

At that point in my journey, I ate about 2 oz of meat (chicken, salmon, or hamburger) at a time along with 1 oz of green Beans. At nearly 9 months post-op (for reference), I eat about 3 oz of chicken and salmon and about 2 oz of hamburger at a time along with 1 oz of green beans. I could easily eat more; I just don't. I have planned my meals around set amounts, not feeling "full."

I'd say your amounts are on point.

[mention=313397]EmmyJ[/mention] I normally eat one egg with a tablespoon of turkey sausage crumbles and a tablespoon of low fat cheese for Breakfast. lunch is either a tuna packet or 2oz of deli meat with a light string cheese. I eat two Snacks that are 80 calorie low fat Greek yogurt or 2 string cheeses (depends on if I had string cheese for lunch) and dinner is 2 to 2.5 oz of meat (chicken or pork) and 2 oz of a veggie. I normally drink a shake or a Protein Water in the evenings. Sound good? I'm really starting to 2nd guess myself.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
