How Much Food Are You Eating Now ????

I was just wondering how much food yall' are eating now. Do you feel full yet or do you just stop ? Has anyone had problems with dizziness or being lightheaded ?? I was just taken off of BP meds on Monday because of dizziness. How long will it take for all dizziness to go away ??? Thanks, Rhonda

i basically eat both ways.....sometimes i'm eating and just all of a sudden i'm like, i'm done...and leave some and other times i'm still feeling hungry when i'm done eating what i've measured. haven't had the dizziness...hope that goes away for you soon Ruth Ann

I was and then I made sure I was equally spacing food and drink through out the day I eat 2-4oz at a time.. depending on what it is. for example I ate about 3/4 of carb control Yogurt for breakfast. the container is 4 oz. yesterday I ate 3T of lettuce wrap filling for lunch an ounce of cheese for a snack i weigh and meassure everything.

I get dizzy and lightheaded too. My doc said it's probably due to being dehydrated. I upped the water and that seemed to help. Sometimes I'm hungry, sometimes not. I eat too fast when i'm hungry and i get a lump in my throat. I have to "burp" up the bite to feel better. I'm doing good on creamed soup at hands. They're easy at work. I can get down about half of it but it takes me about an hour. Beth

I haven't had any dizziness. I'm eating 1/4 cup of food three times a day for meals and then having three protein shakes as my snacks. I drink 68 oz. of water a day. Lizzie

When i get dizzy i know it is time to eat. This is what I had yesterday to eat. breakfast Protein shake(adkins Can) snack: string cheese( 1oz stick) Lunch: 2oz tuna salad & 1/4 cup green beans Snack: kroger brand carbmaster yogart(6 oz) they have 12g of protein dinner: 6 med. size shrimp & 1/4 cup lettuce & cheese salad snack: peanut butter & 2 wheat crackers i just started the last week to be able to get my 64 oz's of water in , and 64-70 grams of protein in. Someone 2 years out told me the more food you get in the more you lose??? Since i've been able to eat more i have lost more. somedays I get in 3oz of meat per meal. I think just a big learning experience. good luck

Hi Rhonda, I stopped taking my BP meds the day of surgery and haven't really needed them since. I check my BP on a regular basis too I'm eating fairly well. I get all my protein from food now. This is what I had today B - 1/2 c. ff cottage cheese (14g) 1 Mini Laughing Cow Light Cheese (6g) L - 2 oz. Chicken breast (14g) 1 Mini Laughing Cow Light Cheese (these are my fav! 6g) D - 3 oz. Steamed Chicken w/ 2 pieces of steamed brocolli (21g) Total = 61g of protein April
