I have the go ahead to progress to the next stage. But now I'm scared to eat. My surgeon said to chew it till it's like liquid, but if I don't how small do I have to get it? I did a mixture of hard boiled egg and light mayo and I chewed but I was scared at the same time.

I liked chicken salad made with light mayo. I also ate taco meat pureed a bit and refried Beans.< /p>

If you like Buffalo wings, try this...chicken, hot sauce, fat free mozz or cheddar cheese, fat free blue cheese dressing. I just mix it up and warm it in the microwave. YUM!

I also mush or cut up meatballs and mix it with fat free ricotta, sauce and fat free mozz.

You chew until its like mushie or liquid practically. Don't swallow whole pieces, make sure you chew it all up.

While you sit and chew, It's good practice to put the fork down, and take your time. Then start again.

Don't be surprised if your hot food goes cold in this process.

It always does for me....
