More on this stage
Don't worry Phil. You will know when you've had enough. Everyone has given you great advice! This is an exciting stage because you can add more to your limited menu.
One thing I did eat during my cream soup stage was creamed corn. I didn't eat the corn, but the creamy soup part. Another thing I tried was mashing up some au gratin potatoes. Fortunately, I have not become lactose intolerant, but I have been drinking non-fat milk. I didn't want to go for the 1% or 2% since I do enjoy the non-fat milk. The egg thing...you may think that the egg white in the skillet looks like a small amount of food, but trust me, you may not be able to eat the whole thing. I found it very difficult to eat my first egg. I had 3 bites and I was done.  Some great advice I received from one of the pre-op meetings was to use chicken broth instead of milk in the cream soups. My dear husband went to the store and bought me one can of each creamed soup he could find. I know he'll have a difficult time getting through this stage because he really dislikes soups. I guess when you're hungry, soup will sound good. 
Have fun experimenting with your new nutrition additions.
