[candyce 14]

How do u know ur full.. I'm 2 weeks out and eating mushie foods but don't feel full..how do I know when to stop.. I just rake a couple bites and figure that's good but I only eat like once a day prolly don't even get 300 cals a day.. so how do u know when to stop eating

I started pureed foods today. After a few SMALL bites, I fill full enough and stop. You can add evaporated skim milk to many things to add calories (though I haven't been too concerned about calories yet - I'm focusing on Protein and Fluid intake). Isopure Zero Carb is an easy way to get in 160 calories, 40 grams of Protein and 20 oz Fluid.

Good luck!

It's not until u start the next phase of food when u actually chew it. That's when u will feel it. When I was on mushy food I stuck to about 1/4-1/2 cup of food. But I added unflavored Protein Powder to it seems to have made me feel more satisfied. Even though I was not full. But I know that first meal I felt it FULL!!! I was very excited.

It was tough for me to tell when I was full even after I started on solid foods. It would take 1 bite that would hurt for me to stop. I have finally figured out that when I start having very very small burps or start hiccuping that I know to stop. Yes a weird signal but I've heard several people on here say the same thing. From time to time I get the burps a little sooner than I think I should and try a few more bites.. But that's when it starts to hurt again so I trust the burps lol. It kinda feels like bubbles trying to escape.

Hope this helps

I get the same burpy feeling - and a bit of a pressure feeling in my chest......
