Pureed stage. Eating too much?

[GeeMarie 8]

Hello all. I'm starting week 4 post op and am on the pureed stage. Today I had:

Breakfast- 4oz Greek yogurt

Mid morning: Protein shake

Lunch: 2oz pureed Buffalo chicken salad

Afternoon: 1/2 banana w/ tspn Peanut Butter

Dinner: Pureed Chili (ground turkey)

Now: 2oz Applesauce

God looking at that written it seems like so much. My dr says eating less but more often staves hunger away and is better for metabolism but I'm so worried that is way too much food. Ugh I'm so confused. Anyone have any advice?

The main emphasis should be on getting in all of your Protein and liquids. Doesn't look like too much food per se, but are you making your goals? Drinking so much liquid doesn't allow me to have room or time to eat that often.

This sounds like a good intake level for 4 weeks out. Additional keys are to keep pushing Water - you can't drink too much throughout the day but you can definitely drink too little. You should consider tracking your intake using an app like LoseIt! or My Fitness Pal - they're great at helping to ensure you're getting enough Protein - and it sheds a lot of light on your calories, fat, and carbs, all of which play a part in your journey as well.

I calculated and got 45g Protein today. But the banana, Peanut Butter (1g) and applesauce were basically negligible. I'm gonna cut out fruit like that I think unless I'm just dying for something sweet that's not a sugar free Popsicle. I drank Water all throughout the day but I for sure didn't get 60oz

Should I 86 anything other than Breakfast, lunch, dinner and do liquids instead?

@@GeeMarie It doesn't seem like too much food but try and aim for more Protein. Adding a Protein Drink will probably get you where you need to be.
