Meal Questions

I'm on pureed phase now.  Should I be getting a "meal' in?  For example today I have had 1 protein shake for breakfas****er in between, now I'm having some applesauce for lunch, will have water, then I'm going to try to do some tuna/egg salad for dinner.  Should I be trying to have a meat, veggie, and starch at each meal or is this phase just adjusting to food???  I'm averaging losing a pound a day which I'm happy with but I'm so drained.  Am I not doing this right?

At this early stage, protein and fluids are your priority.  traditional 'meals' are really a thing of the past.

Well that helps my feelings then.  I just don't want to screw this up in the beginning.

You may be tired because you're not getting enought protein. You should try having some protein every time you eat -- instead of applesauce (no protein) for lunch, try something like cottage cheese, greek yogurt, or another protein shake. Instead of 3 meals right now, you may need to have 5 or 6 minii-meals to get in all the protein you need every day. Concentrate on protein and fluids first and not so much on sticking to a traditional 3-meal-a-day schedule.
