Pureed Stage: How Often Are We Supposed to Eat?
How often should we be eating pureed foods? Just three times a day, like regular meals? 5 times a day? I'm really not sure.
Also, the dietician said that I will "eventually" move up to 1/2 cup of food at a time. How soon/far away is "eventually?" Days? Weeks? Months? I should have asked, but it didn't cross my mind when I was sitting there with her.
To be safe, I'm sitting down to family meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner) and eating my teeny tiny little pureed portions. I am not complaining, I'm super excited! I'm just wondering if I'm supposed to be eating more?

I think it is important to aim for 3 meals a day with 2-3 snacks inbetween.
I had surgery on the 22nd jan and I can eat about half a small greek yoghurt at a time, but it does fill me up for hours. I can manage about 4 oz of liquid (soup or broth or shakes) in about half an hour.
Things are back to normal, pretty much, in my house- with the excpetion of me being the last left at the table instead of the first one finished!

It really depends on your program.. Mine has me on three pureed meals a day with NO snacks.
2 oz of pureed is about all I can get in. the meat alone is even less. I did have cottage cheese and yogurt for dinner last night.
My doc said water is most important for the first week, then protein, then exercise. I should be adding milk in place of some water this week.
Check with the doctor though.. so many programs are so different.
Good Luck!
