I too am on the 2nd day of softs. My Nut says 1/4 cup food four times a day. Just had 1/4 cup chicken salad. Ate too much. One scrambled egg for breakfast was perfect. She also said at leat 40 grams protein (two shakes) a day plus the protein I eat to make 60-80 grams protein a day. Not sure If I can make it. I spent 48 years ignoring my stomach's "cries of fullness". It is now getting my undivided attention! Good Luck! And remember, "I can fo all thing through Christ who stengthens me".
