Pureed Stuff

[dwaterman 35]

Hen starting on puréed food, how much do you typically have? I just had a half cup of chili and not feeling full. I'm being cautious but just wondering whAt are your experiences?

[Tracym1107 47]

I had chili tonight as well and it didn't really feel me up either. But when I eat tuna or chicken I can't eat nearly as much and feel very full!

[dwaterman 35]

That's what I'm worried about is feeling full. Just don't want to overdo it

[Tracym1107 47]

Oh, I have the same concerns but trust me you will know when you're full. I can really tell when I eat tuna. What other foods have you tried??

[dwaterman 35]

I just came off of liquids so the first thing I tried was the chili tonight. What other things have you tried?

[Tracym1107 47]

tuna with a little mayo. I also had some grilled chicken strips with a little salsa. That's all I've tried so far. Search for "The World of Eggface...pureed foods"...she has TONS of ideas and things I'm planning to try. I was so sick of liquids and cream soups! Very happy to be on pureed foods! The chili made me feel like I was actually eating food again!!!

Awesome thanks! I will check it out

i'm still on liquids but going to ask to be advanced sooner due to Migraines. But just on what I know and have learned, even if you aren't full, you should still stop at 1/2 cup if you are that close to surgery. Your nutritionist may have some answers for you.

Yes, that's exactly what they told me today...no more than a 1/2 now. She also said it's important to wait one minute in between bites. Not sure that I wait that long but I do put my fork/spoon down in between.

They recommended getting a word search puzzle. Put the fork/spoon down between bites and find a word or two, then take another bite... This could work with sodoku, angry birds, whatever.

A half a cup of cream of wheat fills me up.
