Hi everyone,
I'm struggling with portion sizes at the moment and need some advice please.
I've just started the puréed stage 3 days ago and once again, I have conflicting information. My Bariatric team said that I should have about 30-40 grams of food per sitting. The dietician said it should be 100 grams or 5 tablespoons. But 5 tablespoons work out more like approx 250 - 300 grams. I've been playing it safe and having about 4-5 dessert spoonfuls.
All the guidelines say to stop eating when you're full but I don't have that full feeling that I used to get pre op when my brain used to tell me I had enough. I'm also feeling hungrier very quickly soon after my meals and for a lot longer. I'm making sure I have protein dense meals and also following the drinking rule and not drinking 45 mins before or after meals now.
Does this happen to anyone else or can anyone offer me the right "formula" please??
Any help is much appreciated!! Thanks!!!
