Amount/volume of food during mushies

[Coco's Mum 1]

I start Mushies tomorrow and can't get a hold of my nutritionist - maybe someone can help me ...

During Mushies - how much (or little) should I be eating? 2oz at a 'meal' ?? 1/2 cup at a 'meal' ?? I haven't been all that hungry during the liquid phase and the scale has all but stopped (body going into starvation, I think) - so i definitely want to get moving back to food.

Since I have little to no restriction - I am not sure if the 'eat until you are full' rule applies ... but I don't what what rules apply ! Any input would be appreciated !

I am wondering this too! I started mushies today. I can't seem to find a happy medium. I overate/drank twice today and I am in PAIN. Hoping I don't stretch. The problem I'm having is that I'll drink my shakes or eat and then won't feel full until like 30 minutes later....when it's too late and I feel overly full.

I think this could be one of the most important unanswered questions. During liquid stage - drink liquid = easy. During real food - more than 1 cup, 4 oz, etc. But what about Mushies?? Someone? Anyone? Thanks !

You should contact your dr's office, they should be able to give you some guidelines. We rec'd a book that tells us how much. Perhaps your nutritionist has an email address? Good Luck

I was told 8 ounces of mushie food for the entire day, allowing carbs with potatoes or hot cereal.Then week 3 no more carbs, incorporate fish for the entire week then week 4 chicken then lean beef last. I'm sure you can eat the 8 ounces throughout the day anyway you wish. Hope that helps

I eat 1/2 cup. That's what I was told to do by my nut and that's how much some successful bandsters eat. It works for me, and sometimes I don't even finish the 1/2 cup because I simply don't want it. I'm satisfied and the weight is falling off!
