Just a quick question.... How many ounces of food is everyone eating?? Do you weigh it, or is it by the volume of it? How much chicken do you eat at dinner?] Is 3 oz of chicken too much? HELP! El

I know this is terrible, but I don't weigh my food. I just can tell when I cannot eat anymore. Most of the time I put about 1/2 to 1 cup of food (eyeball it) on a small dessert size plate that way I don't feel like I am eating so little (looks like I have more food than I really do). Different foods are different in porportion to how much I can eat. I still can only eat about 1/4 cup of cottage cheese at one time, but I am able to eat 1/2-a full frozen chicken and potatoes frozen dinner....Go figure Mandie

At 3 months out my doc says 3-5 ounces is fine. Right now I try to stick with 3 oz of protein and let the rest be veges or fruit if I want it. For as far out as you are I would say 3 oz is definitely not too much.

I can't handle chicken- But I did have 2-3 ounces of salmon yesterday-- Seems normal to me. If you are not feeling gross afterwards, assume you are OK

I'm still on softy smushy food so I can eat 4oz at a time, and 6-8oz of soup if its very liquidy. I havent had my checkup yet, but what I've read on the boards and on the internet 4-6 oz should be good, so I think 3oz of chicken is just right!! Marlize
