So I Am 5 Weeks Out And I'm Just Wondering How Much People Could Eat At This Point? I've Had People Tell Me On Other Forums That They Could Only Eat About Half An Egg At This Point. I Myself Can Eat A Full Egg....But I'm Scared To Eat Feeling Like I Must Be Doing Something Wrong. I Am Afraid To Eat More Than A Few Bites. Has Anyone Else Experienced The Same Feelings?

I'll be 4 weeks out on Tuesday & I haven't tried an egg yet....but I can tell you what I've been able to eat, to see if our eating coincides? I've had chicken nuggets...can only eat 2. I have eaten pieces of cut up grilled chicken breast (bought at costco, already cooked, just need heating), & I can only eat 4 pieces of the cut up chicken & I had a 1/3 cup of over cooked cauliflower. I made a grilled ham & cheese for my son & he couldn't finish his sandwich & since I had nothing prepared for my lunch, I ate the 1/4 remaining of his sandwich & I was stuffed. I can eat 1 whole greek yogurt, or a 1/2 cup of mashed potatoes, 1 package of cream of wheat, or 1 package of oatmeal (& in both I mix in about 3 tablespoons of no sugar added apple sauce for flavor.)

So how does that sound in comparison to what you can eat?

For me , 5 weeks out was 2 ounces of canned wild salmon (trader Joe), 1 scrambled egg, 1 ounce of very chewed chicken or a Protein Shake. Still kind of transitioning from puree to solid at that point. Calories were low: 300- 600. I was not able to eat a lot at that time. Eating was still not that much fun and kind of painful. Things got better by month 3 and slowly improved until able to eat 900 at month 5-6. Keep at it. It gets better, you can be assured! Try to do your best every day.

You are fine! I was able to eat a whole egg when I was at your stage. Don't worry about what other people can and can't do. Your tummy has it's own limitations and just because you can eat a little more than another person means nothing. My tummy can eat more on some days than others. This to is normal. Hang in there you are doing great!!

Just starting week 5.

I can eat between half a cup and 3/4 cup of food in general. Solid Proteins, maybe 2oz, they feel very heavy in my stomach. I cannot eat eggs yet, for some reason they feel like I am eating glass, no idea why.

Takes a good hour to drink a 12oz shake.

Just started solids at that point maybe a few teaspoons of chili or tuna couldn't even et n egg still taking in about 4oz of protien drink 3 times. Day a good quality one 20 grams each. Remember Water and to get the Protein that is what is going to help the weight come off. Oh your body will tell you your limit and it could cause hiccups and a tight feeling
