Wondering if I ate too much

Today was first day on pureed food and I keep reading the meal plan and looking at what I ate and hoping that it was okay.  Anyone else on pureed ???  I had 1/4c egg beaters & 1/2 smashed banana for breakfast and 1 ice cube size chicken puree, 1oz soup, 1oz "liquid" broccoli and 1/2 smashed banana for dinner (I added the banana because I didn't feel any fullness).  Had 2 protein shakes and a piece of cheese throughout the day.  This is the analytical part of me that will be my weakness

It sounds fine to me but I don't know what your surgeon's meal plan looks like.  Make sure you keep a food diary.  Call your doctor's office Monday and review what you have been eating with the nurse/dietician, that is what you pay them do do-take advantage of it...

I would make sure you are getting your protein in before eating the pureed broccoli or bananas.  I have been on pureed and am advancing to soft foods, for dinner tonight, I had some salmon and skipped other foods so I could get more protein in...but if you are meeting your protein goals, then no biggie.

Good luck -it gets easier!

at that stage they basically said 1/4 cup of food at the most, that is what my friend had also.  2oz basically,  just run it by the doc if you arent sure, they say to listen to your body so that is what is important!

Be careful with the banana...it could cause consistancy issues for you.  The egg beaters is good though...make sure that the chicken puree is moist (add broth if you need to)...the hardest part I had with purreed was getting it the right consitancy and not overeating...
