When does the restriction begin.

I'm day 10 and just starters mushy foods. I had mashed potatoes and never felt a restriction or fullness. I ate about 1/2 cup. So I stopped. Just wondering thanks :-)

It's funny you say that because it took me at least 3 weeks before I started to feel full ( I'm in week 9 now) , the only thing I can say is that it will come and to eat slowly and good luck

My doc was very clear in the beginning - measure your food and only eat the amount specified. I didn't feel restriction until about a month out. It's easy, especially in the mushy stage to over-eat. Once you start on the dense Proteins, you'll feel the restriction.

When you get back to eating full solids again, you will notice the restriction.

My doc wanted no more than 1/4 cup at a time. I have a slight stricture so 3 tbls was my max. Good luck on your journey!

I was given the below time line by my NUT for the max amounts you should be eating. My surgery is not until July 24 so I can't comment how accurate it is.

3 months - 1/4 C.

6 months - 1/2 C.

9 months - 3/4 C.

1 year and beyond - never more than 1 Cup.
