I had my surgery Aug 20th and I started my soft food stage but I am so confused. I don't know what to eat and I have gotten some ideas from the forum. What I don't get is am I suppose to blend ( puree) every single thing I eat. I can't see how to puree chicken or ground beef? I imagine it must look something awful plus does the tuna and tilapia need to be pureed too? What about macaronnie and cheese would that be something I can eat? Does the chillie need to be blended too? I also someone posted eating corn beef hash, was that also blended or could it be eaten out of the can. I am desperate for some answers. I will be extremely thankful for your advice.
