Started Puree Food

[PrettyLady]

I ate a 4 oz of cottage cheese and was able to eat the whole thing. Can someone explain if that is normal to eat the whole 4 oz single serving. And I am not full...Where is this restriction I am suppose to get that I read about?

I can easily eat more pureed/soft foods than solids. That has been my experience.

The restriction will kick in when you attempt to consume 4 ounces of rigid animal-based protein (read: chicken breast, steak, pork chops, lamb, etc).

Soft and pureed foods such as yogurt and cottage cheese do not challenge our sleeves or bestow fullness upon us.

The answers from Christy and Rehab nurse I've found true, Also the first few months Your brain will play tricks on you and tell you your hungry when your not. Over time it will go away. Best of luck with your journey

I tried hard to not listen to the growls but it didn't last. I had another 4 oz of cottage cheese and felt better. I have to be on purée for two weeks and it is so much better than liquids. I am afraid to try purée meats.
