Just wondering what those of you in Purée have been eating and how much you can eat. Thanks!

I really can’t eat more than 2oz comfortably, and I’m keeping track of that with a food scale and 4oz jars. I’m eating soft scrambled eggs, yogurt, pudding, very wet tuna salad, refried Beans, cream of wheat, blended bean and lentil Soups, Protein Shakes and milk. I’m using a lot of herbs and extracts to keep things interesting. I’m also eating with chopsticks, which I do frequently anyway but has certainly stopped me from absently putting too much food in my mouth.

One thing I haven’t been doing as reliably as I should is sticking to fixed mealtimes - turns out it’s hard to wedge them around work. But I’m also aware that’s how you end up eating too much by grazing, so next week I’m going to get more structured. It’s been really weird figuring out the difference between head and real hunger. Head hunger can be very persuasive and try to convince you that your stomach’s at-capacity feeling is actually a hunger cue. Weird.

Thank you for your reply. I’m eating close to the same things, except I haven’t tried eggs yet. Mostly sticking to yogurt, cottage cheese, and tuna and some cream Soups. I can usually eat about 3 very small bites. I should probably look into a food scale! Thank you for the idea!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
