Topic: RE: Help I need best practices!!!!!
I am not having a hard time eating too much already. So I have started to weigh my food, not more than four onces on the plate and stop when it's either gone or I feel that fullness in my chest (or if I burp, or hiccup I stop!). 

I also eat way too fast, need to learn to slow down and take the time we are supposed to. Good luck, I know I have a hard time with the eating rules.

I measure too.. But I also have a feeling of full when I know I need to stop. It is like a little pressure behind the breast bone. I eat slowly and rest (sit the fork/spoon down) and try to take 20 min to complete the meal.

Hey all - I went through this same thing weeks 3-5. It was really hard, especially since I was doing so well early on. It FINALLY passed ( I did up my protein), and the next day I had a 4 lb loss. Our bodies are trying to figure out what the hell is going on, and also compensating for losing initial water weight. The stall will pass. I have several buddies who are much further inthe process ( my surgery was May 13), and they say it happens every once in a while and hots everyone a little bit differently and not to worry when it happens - typically we are losing inches still. Good luck to everyone!

I measure every meal out on a scale. I don’t allow more than 4 oz. per meal. Most times I can finish, but on a few occasions I can’t.

My surgeon told me to throw out my scale!!  I can't, of course, because part of the fun is seeing the numbers go down, but it does get discouraging when they don't!  Just keep doing what you're supposed to and you'll see results!  I think it's normal to go through that.  I know I did, too!  Good luck!

I can do this, I can do this, I can do this - AND SO CAN YOU!!

My nutritionist says up until 3 months out I'm only supposed to have 1/4 cup at each meal.  4T of food, 3T should be protein and 1T can be a veggie, fruit, etc.

I would measure my food before eating it.  Are you putting your fork/spoon down?  I know that it is taking me about 25 minutes to eat a 1/4 cup of food
