Update 2 weeks out

I went to the Nut yesterday and I can finally eat.  My new diet seems very different from most.  I can eat 3 Oz of either ground chicken, turkey or ground beef for each meal.  21 G protein per meal (3 Oz is alot of food).  I can also have tuna or 1 egg with 2 egg whites with 1/4 cup cheese.  If I can't eat the 21g protein per meal I substitute  with a shake.  I do this for 5 weeks. I left her office and went right to the store and bought a rotisserie  chicken.  Best thing I've  ever had.  It will last me days.  I could only eat 1 oz and was full so I stopped.

Good to be back with the eating folks again

That is a LOT of food for two weeks out!!  So take it slow and do the best you can without hurting yourself, Yikes!

I can only just now eat MAYBE 3 oz of meat and I am almost 18 months out.  Granted I do have some issues with meat, but still.

Right, I cut up 3 Oz of chicken on a plate and could not believe  how much it was.  I can only eat 1 oz and will stick with that

Whoa that is a lot of food! I am almost 7 months and 2 oz is still too much. Just be careful. Enjoy fork eating 

I know.  I'm not going to try and get that much in.  I'll supliments with shakes

Even if you measure 3oz, stop when you are full. Really at 2 weeks and ounce to once and a half...is usually all you can do, esp. of meat. I never pureed (Yuk!) anything,,,, just cut things up really small, even if they weren't 'ground' meat. My diet progressed pretty fast- I was on full-except salad- forever food by week 4.

Better in my book to eat 5-6x a day than try and shove 3oz in 3x a day.... pain wise, and you don't want to get used to eating large amounts at one time.

I drank a protein shake daily while losing weight. Doesn't have to be one or the other- although obviously not at the same time. Take it slow, chew well and make sure everything is moist.... transition to meats can be hard.

I agree with you thanks.  Funny how all nuts are so different 

Wow that is a lot of food.  I was given the eat 1/4-1/2 cup rule and cannot get 1/2 cup in.  An ounce is really my limit.  And meat is still a no-go for me.  I also don't puree anymore, just chew the heck out of it.

so glad you are past the blended stage ;).

I don't eat 3 oz of meat yet and I'm 16 months out.  Of course, I usually eat veggies with my meat.  I guess if I didn't, I might be able to squeeze in 3 oz (I usually have 2 - 2.5 oz, which is enough for me hunger-wise and protein-wise)
