I had a Protein shake in the morning 4oz. I was about to get that down no problem in 30 mins. I'm on lunch and I took ricotta cheese. I took 4 oz and I took 3 bites and I feel kinda satisfied. I wouldn't say full. But is it bad that I can't finish the whole 4oz? Anyone else have this problem?

No, it isn't bad at all. Don't push yourself to eat more than you want. 4 oz is a maximum, not a minimum.

If I had tried to eat 4 ounces of ricotta cheese on my first day of purees I would have been in extreme agony. I used the wrong measuring spoon accidentally on my second day and ate 2 oz. of Greek yogurt instead of allotted maximum of 1.5 ounces and got the slimies as a result. When you are satisfied, stop! If you get to your allotted maximum of food and don't feel satisfied, stop anyway! Do not try to look for the "full" feeling or eat so much that you irritate your vagus nerve and get something like a runny nose or the hiccups. Stop before you get there. These guidelines will serve you well, I promise.

What are the slimies?

..... An upset stomach

@@nikko9599 the slimies are when your mouth and throat start producing tons of clear slimey liquid like you might do right before you throw up -- but instead of throwing up, you just keep producing slimey fluid. Enough to hack mouthfuls and mouthfuls and gobs and gobs into the nearest toilet. You will also likely feel extremely nauseated, weak, and completely exhausted. It's hard to describe but when it happens to you, you know something is completely wrong and you feel miserable. People tend to get the slimies if they eat too much, too fast, or the wrong texture of food. I only got them twice -- once when I overate the yogurt I mentioned and another time when I stupidly took a mineral supplement pill on an empty stomach. Believe me, when/if it happens to you, you will never want it again!

Shew hope I manage to avoid that

I got the slimies SEVERAL times. I find that I'm fine if I don't go over two ounces.
