Surgery 3 weeks ago my doctor allows us patients to advance a stage so I had Beans swrimp with a little melted cheese but I think just the swrimp would be enough I'm so full...I'm still learning

Of course I chew a lot I added the bean because eating only 3 swrimp for dinner I'm afraid to faint

I had surgery about 3 weeks ago and I am still adjusting to the portions of food . So don't feel alone in this .

If you feel weak, add Protein shakes between meals if your doctor allows that. You are going to feel to weak the first month but I don't think you'll faint. To me, that seems like a lot of food for 3 weeks out.

I had a bite of chicken yesterday chewed it like 100 times.

I always "over portion" on accident. Like looking at three shrimp and being like ... No way will this be enough. Then after 2 I'm like "omg no more food!!!"

We will get there

Most other stuff I try to measure out. I generally eat 1/2 cup or 4 oz for each meal. Rarely can go over that. 8 oz Protein shake takes me about 45 - 60 mins to complete.

I'm 4 weeks out and think that the amount on your plate is fine... at least for my plan. I'm on soft foods and my plan calls for 2 one-half cup servings per meal. I can't do it. Not even close. I'm learning to listen to my body. That's a hard thing to do!

I'm still pre pre op and that's looks good.
