Quick Lapband Serving Size Question
I had my lapband surgery on the 20th of November. So I'm still in my mushy food phase. But I have read some conflicting information and would like to make sure I'm going about this the right way before I go further in and do something wrong.
In the initial instruction binder that my surgeon gave me, it said that you need to eat 1/2 - 3/4 cup per meal, 3 times a day. But in my Post-op package I received at my first follow up appt, I read that you are supposed to only eat 2 oz per each meal. So a total of 3/4 cup per day.
A 2 oz meal just seems EXTREMELY small to me and I'm not sure how a human could actually live on so little food.
Which is the ideal amount of food to eat?
Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer!
