Should i be able to est this much?

I am 3 weeks out today. I tried to eat a little more today to see if it might break my stall. lunch was about 3 oz of puréed canned chicken and 1.5 tbsp of light mayo. I felt just fine. I can also eat an entire egg puréed with light mayo. Does that seem like a lot in one sitting? It does take me about 30-45 minutes to eat.

I'm two weeks out and I ate nearly an entire egg with 3 tablespoons of refried Beans for Breakfast. I ate it in about 10 minutes (which seemed like a long time to me considering that it would have been inhaled in 30 seconds presleeve)

For lunch I set a timer for 20 minutes. I ate nearly 1/2 cup of heated cottage cheese and 2T of Tomato sauce during that time and again, was satisfied but not "full" no pressure, no sliming, nothing.

I'm amazed at these posts sometimes! I must still be quite a bit swollen or just have a super short tummy because I just cant eat much.

3 weeks 4 days here and today I had

1/2 an egg scrambled, made site I got the pieces w the half piece of American cheese melted in. (Takes me 20 minutes @ a baby bite every 2 minutes)

Skipped lunch because I just felt tight. Did have a Protein shake tho.

5-7 bites of cheesy broccoli

I feel full enough to trick my head into thinking I ate seconds of all the food the family has. It's pretty awesome. But I'm still sad sometimes at the end of a meal that there is still food in my bowl.

I'm happy though. After I'm sad, lol. Because this is what I paid for. Restriction. I sure got it!!!

I was told not to spend more than 15 minutes eating, longer and you get in old habits of grazing

I've heard 15, 20, and my local university actually says 30. I think it depends on how much you're able to get in and how early out you are. I'm getting under 350 cals a day. My body needs that!!! I'll def adjust as I progress though and always keep this in mind.

Looks like you are eating soft foods, not puréed like I was. I think perhaps that's why my food went down so easily. I just found out however, that I don't have to puree my foods now- I, too am on soft! Yay!!!!!!! I am so happy to get "real" food!!!!!!

I dunno I sometimes think we post this as a contest on who is eating what. At 6 weeks I ate a 4oz piece of tilapia for dinner and had room for one bite of lettuce. I only eat for a half hour though and I eat SLOW. But I get most of it in without being sick or feeling stretched. I average about 700 calories a day just fine.

Well I'm on the purée phase, but an egg is listed in my meal plan. *Shrig*I just purée with my teeth as good as I can. You might be right.

I can eat one laughing cow cheese wedge. Lol. It is amusing to me how very little we can eat.

So. What are you gonna have tomorrow?
