1 wk postop and eating too much?

[LCS 21]

Hi,

I'm 1 week post op and started pureed food today. I wasn't able to get much down for Breakfast, but lunch and dinner were another matter! I had pureed lentil Soup and probably had 4 tbl. I stopped, but I could have had more. For dinner I had roast chicken pureed with a bit of suffing and broth. Then I had some green mixed veg. baby food.(2 tsp) and then 2 tbl. of butternut squash. This is my first day! Could it be that I am so happy to eat real food again, or should I be concerned?

What do you think?

i was told that I should be able to eat 4oz and it seems to be right on point...i stick to 3 meals of 4 ozs apiece

How thick were these purees? If they were very liquid, that might not be too bad. Suggestion: don't eat all you can, just until you're satisfied. I've always eaten all I can, so this will be a hard thing for me.
