This morning was my 2nd day on soft solids. I made 3 small (whole)eggs with softened bell pepper and onion and a little mild salsa on the side. I figured I wouldn't be able to eat all but I have no clue how much I can actually eat. I ended up eating a little over half and stopped as soon as I felt any signs of being full. This seems like a lot..I have read about those who can only eat two teaspoons.. Yet I don't feel any discomfort at all..I just don't want to be doing anything wrong. Do the amounts vary from person to person? or should I be restricting more on my own? My doctors list on what to eat and not eat is minimal..so I feel a little lost.

I am also on my 2nd day of soft foods. I can eat about 2 medium scrambled eggs with a little salsa on them and just start feeling full about my last bite or so. Everyone is different and it depends on how big their Dr made their pouch. I was told to expect anywhere between 4 to 8 ounces. The key is exactly what you did, when you start feeling full...STOP! I pushed it a little to much last night and hated it. I felt extremely full. I never threw up like some people say they do but once or twice I wanted to to relieve the pressure. I went for a short walk and that helped...2 hours later I hit the exercise bike for a couple miles to see how I would feel and felt fine. I now know for sure what being that full feels like and will definately not push it again. When I first feel full...I will stop for sure.

At first I was getting worried about that too. I read a lot where people get full off a few bites but that just doesn't happen with me and like you i feel no discomfort at all. Amounts do vary from person to person so I think (hope) we're probably stopping before we even get to that point.

I too am on the 2nd day of softs. My Nut says 1/4 cup food four times a day. Just had 1/4 cup chicken salad. Ate too much. One scrambled egg for breakfast was perfect. She also said at leat 40 grams protein (two shakes) a day plus the protein I eat to make 60-80 grams protein a day. Not sure If I can make it. I spent 48 years ignoring my stomach's "cries of fullness". It is now getting my undivided attention! Good Luck! And remember, "I can fo all thing through Christ who stengthens me".

Thanks guys, this makes me feel so much better! Its always good to hear from others going through the same things! Many Blessings on all of y'alls journeys!
