2 weeks out..have a food question

[Emilysmom 41]

Hi guys..I am a little over 2 weeks out and at the soft mushy pureed stage...heres my question: Right now Im getting in a few teaspoons and Im completely stuffed even if I eat slow and chew chew chew...in time will this go away? I mean will I be able to consume a little more that a few teaspoons? Getting nervous about nutrition and dehydration. Thanks guys!

yes you will. A "meal" will be about 6 to 8 oz after everything is stable. Remember the "rules"... no liquid with meals, Protein first, and smile (well that last one is more a guideline).

I am about 10 weeks out and I can drink normallt, and eat in the 5-6 oz range...

Enjoy it while it lasts you're in the very active weight loss portion of your journey. In time like the previous poster mentioned you will eat more.

Yes you will be fine. I had the same thoughts. Every day I saw improvement. But don't be discouraged if you don't see it everyday. I am 9 months out and can drink plenty and eat just enough. I'm glad I did this it was the best decision I have ever made stay positive. It will become the new you !

Once your swelling goes down you will be able to eat more. I am, most days, up to 6-8 ozs each meal.

Funny, I thought the same thing when I couldn't eat squat. Now that I can eat considerably more (about 8 oz), I am thankful for those early meals that were very, very small. It gives our stomach rest and recovery and jump starts our weight loss journey. You'll eat more in time, but nothing (thank goodness) like before.
