Am I Eating Too Much?

[Ian 3]

Hello,

I'm on day 4 of soft foods and just want to get some input, since some of you report very small stomach capacity. I know there is a bit of a learning curve here. For Breakfast the last couple days I have been having egg salad. 1 - 1/2 eggs (1 yoke) and 1 ts of light mayo. It makes about 3.5 ounces of egg salad. When I finish, I'm just starting to get the "Pressure" just under my ribcage that was described to me as full. for lunch and dinner I have been having about 2 ounces of lean hamburg meat, a little broccoli (maybe 4-5 small pieces) , and maybe a bite or two of re-fried Beans. There was one time where I had that constant pressure under my ribcage, it disapated after about 10-15 minutes when the food started moving. I just want to know from everybody whom as been through the mush stage what they think cause I really don't want to start any bad habits.. I am feeling hunger, but it's quickly gone as soon as I eat something. I am sticking to 3 small meals a day, no Snacks. When I drink fluids I can pretty much drink unrestricted.

Hey Ian

I think it's best to listen to your sleeve. The most important thing i found at your stage was Water intake. When you move on to musshies and solids your fullness will be more pronounced so all i can suggest is eat slooooow. I've made the mistake a few times of forgetting to go slow and i didn't throw up but i had allot of discomfort. What worked for me was myfittnesspal.com and 6-7 small meals a day. Good luck on your journey
