Ok. My nut has me on purée diet and in supposed to be eating every 2 hours. She told me measure out 1/4 cup of whatever I eat at every time. So that's what I've been doing but I think I'm getting full before I'm done, especially when I'm eating eggs. If I'm full should I quit eating it or set it aside and fini**** after a little while to ensure I get my protein in? Also, with eggs, should I measure the liquid or measure out 1/4 cup after I cook them?

Eggs gave me trouble early on. I would get full on just few bites. It took mine 6 months to a year to be able to eat eggs.
I would stop when I felt full. Reheated eggs were no-go on all parts. After as year - eggs were my best friend. Give it time.

Hi Beyl 

I had surgery a couple days before you on July 8th.  I have not had any bumps in the road so far for which I am truly grateful.  I have been following your posts here and know your recovery from surgery has had its challenges.  I am so glad to hear you are on a pureed diet and hope you continue to improve.  FYI I measure my eggs after cooking them. Good Luck !!

Yes, stop when you feel full even you've only had a little bit. If I can't finish my portions, I eat them later in the day. I measure my eggs once they are cooked.

Ok thanks everyone! I'm just so paranoid about eating too much at a time. I have been measuring everything and logging my protein but it confuses me of I don't finish something and the rest goes into the trash if I've already accounted for that protein.
