Started soft foods a few days ago. Anyone have this problem when you started?



Recommended Posts

Okay, couldn't wait to get off full liquids! But I notice I can't eat as much real food as the liquids.< /p>

Even though I wasn't eating but 1/2 cup it feels like now I can only eat 1/4 each meal.

I don't feel full, but I feel it stick in my chest when I have had enough. How am I going to

be able to have some Protein and veggies in the same meal? Does it get better?

Any answers or ideas would be great:)

I was told 1/4 cup is it in the beginning of foods but will increase over time as your sleeve heals. It is impossible at this point to get all of your protein in by soft foods with such limited intake so I was told to keep up the shakes or drinks or whatever you are doing to get your protein.

1/4 cup is about what you should be eating right now. do Protein first. When you eat more protein dense food you will feel the restriction more, hence the smaller amount. I wouldn't worry to much about the veggies just yet

I wasn't cleared for veggies until week 6-8 according to my NUTs plans. Veggies can wait, focus on Proteins first
