2 months out and appears I can eat more
At 3 months my Doctor wants me to eat 3 times only. I am so confused. Just when I was confident and thought I knew what I was doing.
I feel like I blew it because 2 oz doesnt satisfy me.

You can always have more veggies and less meat. That way you can control calories better and feel more satisfied.

WOW I so eat so much more than that. I started with 2 oz this morning and I wasnt satisfied and went to 4 oz and was good. ughhhhh... thank GOD my BSG is this tuesday so I can talk about it there. Thanks for your feedback. I feel like I can eat as much as you can now.... but i dont eat that much... its a good idea to know what I should be doing over 2 years out

Here is my reasoning for my premeasured eating, if I *train* my stomach that some is enough and do not try and find *full* then the "enough" will not change (unless I am hormonal - then all bets are off and I just know I am going to be hungry).
Full changes depending on external things for me also, hormones, but also how my day is going, lalalala, if I were trying to find full - then I am probably trying to find whatever I thought my "old" sense of full was - which is leading me down the same sad road I have worked hard, paid good money, and healed up from surgery to get the hell off!
This is not to compel you to act one way or another, only to share my reasons, because we *all* have our reasons, they are all different, our surgical plans are different, you know same old song.
But a worry I might have for me is, if now, at 2 months out 4 ounces is where I am full - what is going to be full for me at 6 months and 1 year?
You made a post about "why even try it" once upon a time - and the whole "eating until I am full" is my *why even try it* For me (and I really *am only speaking for me!) the BEHAVIOR of trying to eat until I am full has been a destructive tool I have used. *This does not mean it is for everyone!!, but it has been for me.*
So, definitely get input from your team about how much is an expected amount? But its one of those things that may be an issue later - so many folks fuss about "I can eat a whole X thing"
Okay, but do you *have* to eat the whole X thing, especially if it obviously causes you distress?
See what I mean, jellaybean?
Either way, all of this is a learning thing!!
Good luck!

also, i don't even think i could eat 2oz. isn't 2oz like an entire can of tuna? i can definitely not eat that much. i can't even get half a can of tuna in.... maybe about a quarter can of tuna.
it really makes me feel like a freak when i have went out to eat recently.... because you literally can not tell i have eaten anything. i'm always getting funny looks, but it doesn't bother me really. i just wi**** was easier to meet my protein and fluid goals without going back to protein shakes.
i'm only a couple days away from being 2 months out now
PS, i know fluids are much more important than protein, but both are VERY important, but i am deathly afraid of losing my hair and my hormones getting too out of whack again like i did the first time i had a dramatic weightloss. i am only 22 and not prepared to be bald, my hair never grew back like it used to be.
Hi ! :)Thank you so much for sharing. A Can of Tuna has 6 oz, just so you know.
Well, I so wish I had your tummy at the moment. I am going through some fear i guess of overeating.
I am sure I will get through this. I just bought skin hair and nail vitamins. its a pill and I broke it up and took it. I am not even sure I should be doing that but all this losing hair scares me. Thank you again for sharing..
