Measuring foods

Can anyone tell me any tips in measuring my food for after surgery? Certain things ppl have tried and it worked or bought? 

Get yourself a digital food scale, for real.  You'd be surprised how easy it is to overestimate a serving size.

Buy a kitchen scale.

Measuring cups allow creeping portions too easily because you can start heaping them full. A scale will keep you way more honest.

Thank you Ladies!! I will have to buy one this weekend. Anything that you both really like to eat that is healthy and easy? 

• String cheese
• Frozen meatballs
• Chicken sausage
• Homemade jerky
• Frozen pre-seasoned fish filets

Great suggestions Thank you :)...Would you put veggies with all those? 

I very seldom have veggies-- maybe a bite or two, tops. Protein is most important, so I'll often eat just meat for meals.

Oh that is really good to know...thank you....I have always been told veggies all the time...I kinda get sick on this lol

I think that generally applies when you're dieting and you haven't had WLS. Veggies are good in that case because they fill you up with relatively few calories.

For WLS patients, though, it's all about dense protein. We have limited space in our stomachs and need to get in LOTS of protein, usually 60 - 80g per day or more, so there's not much room for anything else :)

Thank you...I am just new to all this but I have to plan out everything and make sure I am prepared for EVERYTHING...So i thought i would start early to get use to a routine...I dont even have a surgery date lol
