Hello,

I started my pureed diet yesterday. I started with a v8, which went wonderful.

Today I cooked up some soft scrambled eggs and melted low fat mozzarella cheese over it. I put one tablespoon on my plate. Each bite is a baby spoon, chew 20 times each spoonful, wait 20 seconds for before I grab my next spoonful, and have been eating for 20 minutes. At the pureed stage, or any, how do I know when I'm full? How do I know when to stop?

For me it has always and still is portion control. I stuck to my 1/8 cups.... I now do 1/2 cup protein, 1/8 cup veggie and 1/8 other. I do this for all three meals. I snack on deli meat and cheese during the day.

I bought some silicone ice cube trays with lids planning to make portion controlled meals...each compartment holds 1/3 cup with room for expansion when frozen. Each try has 6 compartments. Does anyone have some good freezable recipes that would work for this? Having surgery 6/1/21 but planning ahead and want to try some recipes beforehand.
