2 oz of food - AGAIN?

I went to the doctor last week, I was down 72 lbs! But the doc said to go back to: "eat 2 oz, not over! If your still hungry drink a protein shake." I was very confused, when I met with the Nut. she said not to eat more than 3/4c, and not to drink after the meal. Doctor said A protein shake is ok, but no glass' of water. The protein is thicker but I was just wondering if anyone else has been told to cut back so drastically? Doc says it is very easy to slip back into old habbits.

I go next month for my 6 month. As they say each doctor is different. My doc doesn't want me to do a shake at all. He says it is liquid and goes through and you want to eat sooner. I could never do breakfast. So I still do one shake at 6:30a m. I do think I am able to eat way too much. Did he say 2oz of what, and how often can you eat 2oz? I don't see how you can do it 3 times a day only, unless you are having a shake after each 2oz. Girl I don't know. But 6oz of food a day and my hunger is returning I might hurt somebody.

I am with you, my hunger is returning and 2oz seems hard to do. Then again I got to 275 by eating...so who knows. I will cut back a little, and shakes are just hard enough to get down, I can see having one before eating, but after just stumped me! Thanks for responding!

Hi Laura, I haven't been to my sixth month appt. yet -- that comes at the end of next month so I don't know what the doc will say abnout my serving sizes... (which is around three oz. of chicken/turkey/shrimp etc with one small high-protein snack a day) But I do know my doctor doesn't allow any protein shakes or bars at all after about the third month.
