[creed2474 0]

Today I have had two eggs and a small package of oatmeal for Breakfast.< /p>

I had wendys chili at lunch... Would u consider that soft enough?

The nutrition isn't too bad other than being high in sodium.

The Wendy's chili is probably ok if you are sure to chew it very well. Your breakfast sounds like too much to eat at one time, to me. Maybe 2 eggs OR oatmeal, but not both for one meal. Your best guide is your physician's and/or nutritionist's instructions.

The thing is I could eat more but I don't. I want to feel satisfied tho and the two eggs and oatmeal was just enough for me. I need a fill I know I do

And that's the hardest thing - Unfortunately, for most of us, "satisfied" is a head thing more than a physical thing. I ran into that very early after moving to soft foods. I ate the recommended amounts for my meals in the recommended time frame (about 20 minutes) and my brain said MORE!! But when I checked my hunger level, I realized that I was no longer physically hungry. So I had to overrule my brain and say "No, I have had all I need." It is not easy, especially when you are a volume eater, as I was, but it does get easier.

Yeah its very tough that is why I want my fill sooner. I don't think ill need much but I hope it helps. I want to be able to take a few bites and be like damn I'm full NO MORE for me lol

Btw I bought two nice little grills when I was not eating and couldn't sleep and saw an infomercial at 4am... Its called the xpress101 I think... I cooked talapia in it yesterday and it was PERFECT! Ill prob be using it a lot with my fish and veggies
