im 3 months to the day out from surgery what helped me with portion control was i used ice cube trays i ice cube is about a tablespoon. and if your using like egg salad or tuna puree it till theres absolutely no lumps at least it helps me..there are things that may bother me today but if i try it again next week doesnt. sometimes it could be howw your cooking it. if your eggs are too dry. or if your frying them in alot of greese or too much seasons or the type of seasons. not thinking i used pepper on eggs and it tore up my stomach.
