What are you eating? How much and How fast?

 I can tell you what and how I was eating,  At this point you should be eating everything pureed. 3 ounces at a meal, ( I was VERY strict with myself about the 3 oz I was determined to not stretch mt pouch)  and it should take you approximately 20 minutes to do so (3 times a day). You'll be getting most of your protein  from shakes in between your meals, at least 70 grams a day. ( I use worldwide pure protein, they are 35 grams of protein and 1 gram of sugar). You should be getting 64 oz of water.  So what ever your favorite meals are drop them in a blender and eat three ounces of them.  That first month I ate cream of wheat (1 oz) and vegetarian sausage (2 oz)  pureed for breakfast.  I used cheese soup and soy milk and whatever sounded good to blend stuff.  I couldn't stand baby food BLEECH. For my lunch and dinner  I always added a vegetable .  So like 2 ozs of one of my vegetarian favs and an ounce of a pureed veggie, cooked very soft and mushed, and yes I did add butter.

Now is the best time to start learning how you will eat. I tried my best to use early time as wisely as possible. Hopefully as you add more fluids and softer foods to your body your nausea will cease.  I would suggest make a meal plan for yourself something YOU will like to eat. Do a day or two a time. It's going to get better my friend, it really will.

Be Well
