WAS BANDED ON 11-21-07. HAVE ONLY LOST 15LBS. AM EATING LESS THAN NORMAL BUT MORE THAN THE DOCTOR WANTS ME TO EAT. HE SAID EAT 4 OZ OF PROTEIN AND 6 OZ OF FRUIT OR VEGGIES, THEN WALK AWAY. HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO DO THAT. I'M HUNGRY. I CRAVE CHEESE SO MUCH. CAN'T EXERCISE BECAUSE OF OTHER HEALTH REASONS. I'M GROWING TIRED OF JUST MEAT AND VEGGIES. DON'T KNOW HOW TO MEASURE A SALAD OR A CASSEROLE OR BREAKFAST, ETC. ANY SUGGESTIONS?
