Just want a sanity check please

[HDubSleevery 25]

Hey y'all! I am about 3 weeks out and on mushies/softs. I can eat about 2 ounces of yogurt or pudding. I can one tablespoon of mashed potatoes (with cheese and bacon seasoning) or one tablespoon of the eggface ricotta bake at any given time. Does this amount sound right for where I am?

Thanks so much!

Yes, sounds right to me. Your swelling probably hasn't gone down yet. You will probably be able to get in a little more between 4-6 wks or so.

Yep! Shocking isn't it? The first time I made a plate of mushie food I thought I was going really small. I could only eat a couple of bites. It will be that way until your tummy rids itself of all the swelling. Small meals more times thru out the day is what works for me.

I find myself putting eating off because of the wait before and after for drinking - it's hard to get my fluids in as it is!
