No game 14,437 Posted May 22, 2013 For the most part you will feel a little discomfort starting but in the beginning it's just a good rule of thumb to measure 1/4 cup and not eat over that. 2 melodymouse and T'snewstart reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WorkItOutWoman 185 Posted May 22, 2013 Please measure your food. You are still healing and probably won't feel full until you move to dense Protein.< /p> 1 No game reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kelsan 117 Posted May 22, 2013 i'm in the mush phase too. The only time I feel discomfort is when I eat refried Beans. I can't even get the 1/4 cup down. Hope all is well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

QweenNique 44 Posted May 22, 2013 Tomorrow I advance to the fourth and final stage and I am afraid. I don't know what to expect with increasing my calories or what to eat. Sometimes it's just easier not to eat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

melodymouse 196 Posted May 22, 2013 Sometimes when I start eating after a few bites I feel discomfort and then I stop eating .. And then I get hungry not to long after that Make sure you are taking infant sized bites for your new infant sized and chew until there is nothing left. I used the 30 Chew Rule. If it was gone after 30 chews, I would spit it out. If your teeth can't pulverize it, there's no way your stomach will be able to break it down easily. Also remember it should take you close to 30 minutes to eat. Its real easy to eat too big of bites and too fast. I'm over 15 months out and STILL measure things. It is the best way. Also stop eating when you first feel that pressure sensation so you don't over eat. You can always wait 15 minutes and eat some more if you're afraid you're not getting enough. It took me close to an hour in the soft and early regular food stage because the curve at the top op my stomach was so tight. Hang in there. It does get MUCH better! 1 May142013 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
