Hi guys..I am a little over 2 weeks out and at the soft mushy pureed stage...heres my question: Right now Im getting in a few teaspoons and Im completely stuffed even if I eat slow and chew chew chew...in time will this go away? I mean will I be able to consume a little more that a few teaspoons? Getting nervous about nutrition and dehydration. Thanks guys!

yes you will. A "meal" will be about 6 to 8 oz after everything is stable. Remember the "rules"... no liquid with meals, Protein first, and smile (well that last one is more a guideline).

I am about 10 weeks out and I can drink normallt, and eat in the 5-6 oz range...

Thanks! whew, I feel better now LOL thanks very much

Enjoy it while it lasts you're in the very active weight loss portion of your journey. In time like the previous poster mentioned you will eat more.

Yes you will be fine. I had the same thoughts. Every day I saw improvement. But don't be discouraged if you don't see it everyday. I am 9 months out and can drink plenty and eat just enough. I'm glad I did this it was the best decision I have ever made stay positive. It will become the new you !

Thanks Ladies

Once your swelling goes down you will be able to eat more. I am, most days, up to 6-8 ozs each meal.

thanks so much! I just feel like Im having maybe 12 teaspoons of food a day, that's not much and I worry about everything LOL..thanks kiddo!

Funny, I thought the same thing when I couldn't eat squat. Now that I can eat considerably more (about 8 oz), I am thankful for those early meals that were very, very small. It gives our stomach rest and recovery and jump starts our weight loss journey. You'll eat more in time, but nothing (thank goodness) like before.

Best to just enjoy your journey, things well get more normal soon.

thanks guys! much appreciated
