  • For the most part you will feel a little discomfort starting but in the beginning it's just a good rule of thumb to measure 1/4 cup and not eat over that.

    Please measure your food. You are still healing and probably won't feel full until you move to dense protein.

    Make sure you are taking infant sized bites for your new infant sized and chew until there is nothing left. I used the 30 Chew Rule. If it was gone after 30 chews, I would spit it out. If your teeth c

Sometimes when I start eating after a few bites I feel discomfort and then I stop eating .. And then I get hungry not to long after that

i'm in the mush phase too. The only time I feel discomfort is when I eat refried beans. I can't even get the 1/4 cup down. Hope all is well.

my stomach growls all the time. I never feel full

I really don't know what to eat all I have been eating is like chicken

Tomorrow I advance to the fourth and final stage and I am afraid. I don't know what to expect with increasing my calories or what to eat. Sometimes it's just easier not to eat.

That's exactly how I feel I don't know what to eat so I just rather not eat anything...

Same here! I don't have a nutritionist, so I'm sort of on my own.

I go to the doctor still so I have one but they are not clear on what they say... They think we should already know or something... What stage are you on

Make sure you are taking infant sized bites for your new infant sized and chew until there is nothing left. I used the 30 Chew Rule. If it was gone after 30 chews, I would spit it out. If your teeth can't pulverize it, there's no way your stomach will be able to break it down easily. Also remember it should take you close to 30 minutes to eat. Its real easy to eat too big of bites and too fast. I'm over 15 months out and STILL measure things. It is the best way. Also stop eating when you first feel that pressure sensation so you don't over eat. You can always wait 15 minutes and eat some more if you're afraid you're not getting enough. It took me close to an hour in the soft and early regular food stage because the curve at the top op my stomach was so tight. Hang in there. It does get MUCH better!
