4oz mushy food

itzbrittaanyx3 · October 25, 2016

I started mushy foods on 10/21 .. I could only take a few spoonfuls and I was done... now I can get the full 4oz in but it takes me longer than 30 mins. Does that mean my tummy is stretched out a bit?

It likely means you don't have as much swelling. Did your plan give a time limit to meals? I ask because mine said to limit to 30 minutes. Basically it said to take the full 30 minutes to eat but that at 30 minutes to stop.

That's a good question... it doesn't say to stop at 30 mins..

Mine has a time limit too. Mushy food can slide through your sleeve quickly so it's easier to eat more. Stick with the recommended portion size. Mine is only 1-2 ozs and working up to 4 ozs by 6 weeks.
