Scared....Am I eating to much?

[rapunzle 0]

My Dr. said to eat 3 to 4 small meals (3-4 ounces each) per day. I really didn't want to put all of my food in a measuring cup, and I certainly didn't want to overeat, so I went shopping. I found a cute little plate in a kitchen store. It's about 4 inches square and has a lip on it. I found it in the Asian section, near the Asian teapots and the Sushi dishes. I asked the guy who owns the store to test how many ounces it holds. It holds EXACTLY 4 ounces. So. . . I just load my cute little plate with 70% Protein & 30% whatever else and know that I am eating the right amount. I love it so much I'm going to buy two more so I have one at home, one at work, and one in the car, so I'm never without. Just an idea that has helped me stay on track until I get a fill or two.

I am so glad you posted this! Thank you!

I was banded 2nd April and I can eat anything - even bread!! I am still trying to eat mushy-ish things so that doesn't help I guess. Going for my 1mth f/up on the 5th I think, so hopefully I get a fill. I am starting to wonder if they have put a band in there!? Feels like nothing has changed!!!!!!! WHAT IF THIS DOESNT WORK!!!

I don't see how you could be eating to much, You had your surgery a week after me, and you've lost lot of weight. I wouldn't worry so much. My doctor said to eat 6 to 8 oz I think I would be hungery all the time if I only ate 4 oz at each meal. I like the idea of the plate you found. Were did you find it? That would certainly help with making sure I don't over eat. Keep in touch
