Portion size: 2 tbsp or daily recommendation?

[joannalouise]

I'm 6 days post-op and my dietary leaflet says that at first I should be eating only 1-2 tablespoons of pureed food. However, it then goes on to say I should be having 6 portions of protein, 2 carbs, etc etc on a daily basis. How am I supposed to fit all of those portions into 1-2 tablespoons? Or is the 1-2 tablespoons thing just for the first couple of days? Confused! Hope you can help

Its just initially,after a while you can get the quota in!

I too am a little confused about portion size.

I am allowed three portions of veg on my pre op diet, but would you say that there were three portions of veg in a tin of weight wathers soup?

I wish that they would just say what you can and can't have, it would be so much easier.
