Is it odd that I can only eat 1/4 cup portions?

I drink right up until I eat, but sometimes when I do this I can't eat much.  I usually wait 45 minutes after I eat to drink anything.  I do not wait after protein shakes because they are fluids and they count as part of your water/fluids for the day.

I think 1/4 cup of food is good for how far out you are.  I'm over 2 years out and mine is around 1 cup sometimes less sometimes more-just depends on the day!!  I would not overeat just because they want you to have 1/2 cup.  Measure it out and eat until you are full and stop!!

Are you drinking plain water?  I don't like it plain.  I have to add crystal lite flavors to mine(or the Walmart brand).

1/2 cup still seems like a lot to me at 5 months out. I wait 30 minutes before and after eating to drink... keep water by your side all day and sip sip sip!!!

You are doing great on your protein....
