I guess it's different for everyone because my nutritionist told me to have 4 oz of protein 3 times a day with the diet ..jello, water, broth, crystal lite, etc. but no puree yet. I'll prepare the 4 oz of protein but I can barely get down 2 (too tight, hurts to go down) and that's it for me. I'll sip on crystal lite, water throughout the day. The only thing is, anytime I sip, I get spitty mouth!
Best wishes to everyone.
