Okay, so Tuesday will be 2 weeks out from surgery. Even though I had that mishap last week and it set me back a bit on my diet, I think I'm ready to move on to soft foods! Last night we had Trick or Treating in our town and after days of candy being in the house, untouched by me of course, I decided to try one Reeses Peanut Butter Cup. I figured, its soft, it can be chewed down to nothing, it will be okay. I took extremely small bites, chewed it to the extreme and it went down well. I waited about a minute or so in between each bite too. I know thats not exactly the best food to try first, or even at all since I'm trying to lose weight but look, a girls gots needs okay?! lol

 

Anyways, after that went down well, I was really hungry. I've been resting a lot so I've been missing meal times and mine are off now. Like I"ll eat lunch at like 4pm etc. Anywho, it was like 9pm and I made some low sodium veggie soup and I ate pretty good! Small bites, tons of chews and then waited. I ate the veggies in it and the broth!! I felt pretty good afterwards and went to bed a bit later and didnt have any problems!!! YAY!!!! I can eat soft foods now!

 

So ... Monday I'm going to start of softs. I'm going to figure out what I can eat today so I can plan it all out. I know I can have eggs and mashed potatoes .. but what else can have? Does anyone have any suggestions? I had planned on making 1 egg with cheese and giving half to my dog and trying to eat the other half, or as much of it as I can. I cant really think of anything else that I can have so if you do, let me know! I'm so excited to be starting on REAL foods soon!!!:thumbup:

If you go online to "Thickit" company, they make pureed foods that you can order . .. you don't have to, I mean almost anything can be pureed. But the Thickit Chicken-ala-king is especially tasty. I also use Beneprotein powder to add to foods to get some extra protein. Someone on this site posted that they puree tuna with some low fat mayo and that works really well too and very high in protein. Good luck!
