how long does the transition take from mushies to solids I recently switched to solids and I find I have to chew my food so much is this the way it is going to be and also the food seems like so little i can eat advice please

Yup, that is the way it is going to be from now on. You are going to become a masticating machine, a munching maniac

Every doctor's advice is different. I went from 3 weeks of full liquids to solids. My doc changed his protocol because he found too many people stuck on mushies. I still have to remember to chew, chew, chew! It's hard to remember when I'm very hungry.

yup. with restriction, you definitely have to chew, chew, chew and sometimes a few bites is all you can handle.. that's the whole idea.. welcome to restriction! concentrate on protein first, veggies next and anything else IF you still have room...

Thanks I had the problem when I was very hungry and wasn't concentrating on chewing lots to learn have lost 30 pounds though
