Adding Mushy Foods Vs. My Liquid Intake

[jennyblue111 32]

Just when I was almost hitting my liquids goal of 64oz, I got excited about eating mushy food, & BAM, liquid goal down the drain. It takes me so long to eat, there's just not time enough in the day for me to eat & drink, I feel like. It's like I have to choose, & I feel like liquids are the priority. I can't enjoy any of my mushy food purchases b/c of all this drinking! Nevermind when I have to go back to work next week & can't spend all day drinking & eating. I'm feeling overwhelmed today. Any advice?

First and foremost, do not panic. I'm right there with u. I'm so excited about my pureeds that I am treating them like my meals. I'm doing one about an hour after I've had my Protein Shake and then again at "lunch" and "dinner" time. Keeping in mind that fluids are the biggest aspect still of our days. So make sure to drink in between the mini meals as your sleeve tolerates it. I've found that since starting pureeds it takes me longer to eat and then I'm full longer and several ppl have said it's normal to take some time to find balance...you'll be fine!!! You're doing great!!

i'm 4.5 months and still have trouble getting both Water and Protein in, i kinda alternate. One day i make sure to get in all/ or almost all of my water and then the next day i make sure i get all of my protein in. Some times i get close to both but so far haven't managed to get all of both on the same day.
