How much to eat?

[KarenF1972 78]

I am 2 weeks out (surgery 10/14). At my 2 week appt, the NUT said we can add in starches - mashed potatoes, pureed veggies, refried Beans, eggs, etc. In my program, we weren't given a specific amount like - lunch 1/4 cup of refried Beans. We are supposed to be at 700-900 calories, 80-100 Protein and 64 ounces of Fluid. When I first started with yogurt and Soup, etc, a very small amount would "fill me up". I read that most people weren't able to eat a whole scrambled egg when they first tried one. I had my first one for dinner tonight at like 6 and had no difficulty (slowly) eating the whole thing. Later at around 830 I had some greek yogurt to help get my meds down. Again, I ate it slowly, but had no difficulty with the whole container of yogurt. No discomfort, etc.

Is this normal not to have difficulty with these things at this point?

Thanks!

I didn't have any problem eating a scrambled egg either at the puréed food stage. I haven't had any problems with any food yet - I just eat slowly and stop before I feel full. Having said that I haven't tried solid pieces of meat or chicken yet now I'm on solids - I just don't fancy them at the moment. I'm not worrying about counting calories - I'm eating small amounts of healthy food and making sure that Protein takes priority, so it's unlikely that my calorie intake is too high.
