Looking forward to this afternoon

From what I can read you're doing everything correctly, but of course I'm not around you 24 hours a day to say for sure. With that said, don't fret.
I’ve have said IMHO I don’t think you’re eating enough. However, as I always stress TALK TO THE DOCTOR/NUTRITIONIST BEFORE INCREASING /CHANGE YOUR INTAKE. I strongly suggest you speak to your Doctor/Nutritionist today. Sit down and let it all out. Mention ALL of your CONCERNS. If they said you’re doing well, and it’s normal – take their word and relax a little.
Remember this isn’t a sprint race but a marathon. It will take: some time; trial and errors; patience; and getting reacquainted with your body before you will feel confident what you’re doing.
Good luck, and let us know how it turns out.

I would strongly suggest speaking to either the P.A. or your Doctor concerning your nutrition and see what they say.
My only other advice, while you may be scheduled to see a professional in X weeks - if you feel you cannot wait, demand to make an appointment sooner. You need to be diligent if you want to succeed.
A silly example I always us is: If you just bought an expensive television and it wasn't working properly - you wouldn't put up with "we'll come out to service it in 6 weeks". You'd demand it be fix immediately, or you would look else where to get it repaired. Aren't we worth more than a silly television?

In the beginning: I was told 60 to 80 grams of Protein. I was told each meal should consist of about 3 to 4 ounces of protein. One ounce of Protein has around 7 grams. Then make up the rest with a protein shake.

This is a great example why I always suggest talking to your Doctor/Nutritionist before making any changes. They know your condition so much better then us strangers.
Good luck - and keep us posted.

Just going to put my 2 cents in here if you dont mind. After I get done with the soft stage (which will be Sunday) I am suppose to move on to Basic meal plan which consists of the following
2 ozs protein
1 oz non starchy veg or fruit
1 oz. starch
dab of fat
This is for all 3 meals and plus I can have a snack in the afternoon if I dont feel full.. Can drink protein shakes in between too if I need too. Hope this helps you some. Good luck to you I get my first fill on the 9th of May
