THANK YOU. THANK YOU, THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR ADVISE!    IT REALLY HELPS...IT SEEMS LIKE EVERYONE IS ON THE SAME PAGE EXCEPT FOR ME! LOL...

I too am allowed to eat for only 30 minutes.  But at this moment My dr has allowed me up to 8 ounces at a meal.  I can do that and more,  but the time limit doesn't allow.

I measure 4 oz of food mostly protein and the doc said eat what i can  (slowly) in 30 min and when the time is up i stop .... then fill the rest up with liquids...  I hope this helps ...

I don't know what your NUT tells you but mine told me that if you are not done eating in 30 minutes stop and that is all you are going to eat.  Almost always I am done if 15 minutes.  I always measure or weigh my food.  I only eat 2 oz of food or 1/2 cup.  Now when I say done it doesn't mean that I finished it.  It just means that I am so full like Thanksgiving full.   

I only eat things high in protein except for canned asperagus.  I love that stuff.  Because I live in Hawaii there is good high protein foods here that are awesome.  I eat shrimp and raw fish almost everyday.  I love pork tofu.  This is mostly what I eat.  Sometimes I have refried beans but it ain't my favorite.  I only eat things that I love.
