Am i eating too much???

I am almost 4 weeks post op and i am on ground foods right now.  But following the list i have it seems like im eating too much, does this sound right.  For dinner i just had 3oz ground turkey, 1/4 cup whipped potatoe, and 1/2 cup of pears from the can no sugar added.  usually its 1/4 cup of fruit and 1/4 cup of veggies but tonight i want fruit.  They told me 1 cup of food is what i should be eating which is what i am.  I can never finish the fruit or veggies or potatoe but i get all of the protien.  What do you think???

Sounds like you are following what your Dr. said to do.  As long as you are not stuffing yourself and you feel over full, I am sure you are fine.  You are doing great!  Keep it up.

As long as you are eating all the proteins and eating slowly so you dont feel overfull, you should be fine. Everyday may seem different. Some days I feel full after just a little protein..some days I can eat it all! Just do as your body says.. it is important to feel and listen to the signs. best wishes

Sounds to me that you are right on target. Just make sure the protein first then everything else. Just don't force it to where you feel over full and you will be fine. I'm right behind you. I have been transitioning from mush to baked fish. Going to try having a turkey stuffed pepper tonight. Last night I made this awesome meal. Ate about 1/2 - 3/4 cup. Bean Sprouts, mushrooms, onion, ground burger, ground tomatoes, salt & pepper to taste. Its my version of American Chop Suey. The bean sprouts replace pasta.  If  anyone would like to know how I make this, send me a PM, I will be happy to tell you. ~Dawn
