How many ounces?

[debbie813 20]

I'm 4 days post op. First day was a nightmare, but days 2, 3 & 4 so far so good - except for an awful case of the blues.

Tonight I had strained Soup. I ate it over 15 minutes or so but then realized that I actually had 8 ounces total. Is that too much within 15 minutes? As soon as I finished I started worrying that I over did it, I feel fine, have kept it down, but of course i'm worried. Any info much appreciated. Thanks!

It's liquid so it's not really going to hurt anything. You might want to practice slowing down because it may cause problems as you move forward to more solid foods. Once you hit pureess and soft foods you'll need to heed the suggestion to stick to 2 - 4 ounces.

I wish i could eat that fast. :-) this morning it took me like 45 min to do 1/4 cup of Greek yogurt. I have been trying to go show bc after like every bite i get purpy and a little chest pain. The pain eases as soon as i burp or my tummy gurggles, but it's uncomfortable so i am going slow. I had to warm my 1/2 cup of Soup up 3 times last night Lol

@@Amanda0305 Greek yogurt is denser than Soup broth. It should take you longer.
