Default Tracy...portions

Hi there. You are about 3 weeks ahead of my 2/23 surgery date. I don't think I could eat 31/2 oz of chic (or any meat) if you held a gun to my head. Who told you to eat that amount??? I can eat probably at the max 2oz, but again that varies. Sometimes I can seem to eat more than others, but never 31/2 oz of meat. That is a chic breast...average size, meat only 31/2 oz. When we have chic for dinner I can usually eat my breast for 2, or most of the time 3 meals. That's the same piece of chic. I eat some salad or veggies w/it, but not much. Can I ask you a question? I thought at the 6 week mark we were supposed to stop w/protien shakes and switch to bars. I still do the protien shakes because the bars are gross and I can't eat a whole one in a single day. Let me know what you think of all this okay? How is your weight loss going? I found great shake w/only 110 calories, 21 grams prot, 1 fat, and no sugar...oh, and the ever important 3 grams of fiber!! They aren't thick like others and taste nice and sweet....get back to me when you can. I am curious what other people at my stage are and aren't eating yet and how they feel overall. Thanks and good luck.
Jean
