I am going to print your comment and post it were I can read it every day!!!

Congratulations!!!!!! Maybe you could be an elf this year and just say that Santa took the day off. lol I was sleeved on the 11th but I have the feeling I have not lost much this week since I started the puree food.

I was sleeved on the 11th but my doctor asked to be on liquids just for one week. I will be 2 on puree. So far I have not felt sick at all, only the first two days I was having hicups lol I don't know why. But as far as tolarating food, I have been good.

When do you start? When I was on liquids, my treats were the Jello and the sugar free popsicles. I love the popsicles.

I love chicken so I make chicken broth and use it to blend my vegetables and the chicken. The way I do it is I use a deep pan, pour hot Water with the chicken, a piece of garlic, cilantro and a piece of onion with some salt. Then I add some vegetables like carrots, potato, brocoli or celeri. Let boil until the chicken is cook and the vegetables are soft. I just love it.

First I cook the ground beef and while still cooking it, I added the sauce. Then I put it in the blender. It tasted kind of like meatballs just without the spaghetti lol. I just used a little bit of salt and that was it.

I am on puree right now and today I cook some ground beef and added some tomatoe sauce, I really liked it. Also I made chicken broth and blended the chicken with it's own broth. Refried beens are great too! I also bought soome baby food lol

My surgery was last tuesday and I have to keep track of every oz of liquid I intake every hour and the amount of Protein. So far I have been using a grid my doc gave me but I was wondering if anyone here had any creative suggestions to keep track of food intake or knows about an app that might be useful.

I know!!! I would keep forgetting too but I did it! Now I am on a puree diet. It was amazing 2 days ago when I got egg for Breakfast, I wanted to taste some food so bad because I was tired of just liquids but it was great that only after 4oz of egg I was fully satisfied.

It's been only 4 days since mine and so far I have been doing ok. I'm sipping all day to get at least 64oz of liquids and so far I have been tolerating Water,deluded juice, fortified milk, Protein shake and chicken broth. I also can eat sugar free popsicles and sugar free Jello. For The First 3 days it was a little harder to keep up to intake the 64oz of liquids but today I felt appetite and was easier. I also really like having one or two popsicles a day I think that has help with the swelling because I feel great eating them.

Thanks I will check it out!

Almost there!
