Amount/volume of food during mushies

[Coco's Mum 1]

I start Mushies tomorrow and can't get a hold of my nutritionist - maybe someone can help me ...

During Mushies - how much (or little) should I be eating? 2oz at a 'meal' ?? 1/2 cup at a 'meal' ?? I haven't been all that hungry during the liquid phase and the scale has all but stopped (body going into starvation, I think) - so i definitely want to get moving back to food. My pre-op diet was shakes - and don't go over 1000 cals in a day.

Since I have little to no restriction - I am not sure if the 'eat until you are full' rule applies ... but I don't what what rules apply ! Any input would be appreciated !

My post op meal plan said 1/4 cup of food 3 times per day during the mushie stage. Everyones is different though

I think each doctor has a different guideline but personally I was allowed 800 calories on my liquid pre op diet. I am allowed 1200 calories now. I am getting ready to start the mushy stage tomorrow. I know I haven't been all that hungry since surgery. The nurse told me thats because my stomach being swelled from the surgery was causing restriction but as the swelling goes down I will become hungrier. I think it will be hard to get in the 1200 when I only eat 3 times a day and maybe not more then 1/2 cup servings of whatever I am eating. Now you got me thinking. I may have to call up the nurse and ask tomorrow. I sure don't wanna go into starvation mode.
