Almost 3 weeks post surgery (not a stall question)

[MelTed 12]

Hi! I’ve read so much about the three week stall, so I’m not really going to talk about how annoying and frustrating that can be... because it sure is.
I’m so nervous to ask my question. So, I started puréed foods Monday. Per the NUT, that includes scrambled eggs, no-fat refried Beans, etc. I feel that I can eat more than I should. I can eat an entire scrambled egg with a little (0.3-0.4 oz) low-fat cheese or 3-4 oz of refried beans/yogurt in one sitting. I feel like that is a huge amount! I eat slow, chew (even though it’s soft/puréed), and have never felt nauseated. Per my NUT, I’m supposed to eating 3 meals per day and drinking two snack Protein Shakes. I’ve been meeting my Water requirement and am getting 500-600 calories a day. Is this too much for me only being (almost) 3 weeks out? I’m sure there will hopefully be more restriction once I get to more solid type foods, but I’m just so nervous. The NUT told me not to worry about calories at this stage and just focus on protein/water intake. But what can I say, I like to worry..
Thanks for your help!

How long are you eating for? Did they give you a time limit? I was only allowed to eat for a max of 30 mins max (or until full whichever comes first, the stomach does eventually empty.... )

Dense Protein will allow you to feel your restriction more than soft foods, don't worry. Just follow your NUT's plan.

Mine told me the same thing - not to worry about calories in the beginning. It worked out fine you will notice a difference with solids and different liquids
