how to eat again….

[annie218 0]

I am almost 3 weeks out and still trying to figure out this eating thing. I am currently on soft foods (baked fish, PB, yogurt, cottage cheese, banana, etc) but I am not sure if I really know how to eat all this different things. I try and have something every 2 hrs. with Protein Drinks in-between. I am getting my 70+gms of Protein a day in addition to my 64oz of water…

Does anyone else out there have a schedule to how and what to eat?

Will I ever be able to have more than 3-4 oz at a time?

I can't imagine ever getting to have a plate a food (even it small in portion) with my family.

No regrets, but just trying to figure it out.

I am 2.5 weeks post-op and haven't quite figured it out either.

I use a timer on my phone. I eat first thing in the morning and then set my timer for 45 minutes and not drink. When it goes off, I start drinking my Water and set the timer for 2 hours 15 minutes. Then I stop drinking and set it for 45 minutes so that there is 3 hours between "meals" and then when it goes off I eat, and so on.

I plan my whole day (of meals) in the morning so I know I'll hit my Protein.< br />
I, personally, am fine if I never have room for more than 4 oz of food. When my husband eats things I can eat, he will give me 2-3 ounces and we eat together :-) Three ounces is my max right now.
