I was under the understanding I was to eat my 4 oz of Protein first and then my veggies and fruit as I had room. That how I generally eat my lunch and dinner.

Good Luck-Hope the unfill does the trick for you.

:clap2:You ask that goofy Surgeon anything you want - it sounds to me like a question from someone who doesn't settle for winging it and cares about her health and understanding things clearly. Good for you - AND KEEP ASKING. That's what we pay them the big bucks for! LOL.

Four ounces is 1/2 a cup, which is about where we should be for an entire meal (between 1/4 cup and 3/4 cup). You should have your Protein first and then the rest of veggies or whatever.

I can only do 1/4 cup oatmeal for Breakfast, 1/4 cup tuna for lunch, and then maybe 1/2 - 3/4 cup for dinner. I've had one fill and am headed for my second one on the 21st.

Good luck to you...

Make, I am SO glad I am not the only one who gets stuffed on 1/2 cup of food! Yes, 4 oz is enough.

yes 4 oz is great for me .too i've been using my new food scale and im doing a-okey .4oz is a lot more then it sounds .

but i still haven't lost weight that is odd any new suggestions

Melanie, I can only consume about 2 oz at a time. If you are not losing at 4 oz I would recommend another fill or cutting down to 800-1k calories a day. How much can you consume? 1 cup, 1/2 cup? For me Protein is most important. I always start my day with a Protein Shake to ensure I get enough in. Good luck.
