Portion Control

Soon I will be doing my transition to soft foods (2 days).  So far all is good.  Weight is coming off   One question probably to the "vets" - in my plan, food portions refer to 2oz or 1/2 cup.  Does that make sense?

You are measuring by using the medicine cups still?  Interesting.  I was told to move to 1/4 cup at first, now they want me to be eating 1/3-1/2 cup at a meal.

when transitioning, you'll likely want to use the volume measurement.  Now at 14 months post op, I weigh it all.

2 oz is 1/4 of a cup NOT 1/2 of a cup. 

First few months - measure volume.
