Hello JudyJudyJudy,

Glad to hear that everything is going oK. I had my surgery on Dec. 2 and when I went home I had to start my pureed diet. Pureed diet consists of any table foods have to have gravy, milk, Water, ect... to put into the blender to puree them to the consistancy that can be drawn up through a straw (BUT DON'T DRINK IT THROUGH THE STRAW TO AVOID AIR, BECAUSE OF GAS) WITH NO LUMPS. I wanted some Fish so bad tonight, so I took a piece of it and put it in some cream of mushroom Soup and pureed it in my blender. I had to eat it very slowly and a couple of times it seemed like I might either have been getting full or starting to get nauseous, but it passed and I ate all of it, just a few ounces. I am going to try to start experimenting with different foods so that next week if I get to start on soft foods (TABLE FOODS THAT CAN BE MASHED UP WITH A FORK) maybe it will be easier to know what works and what don't.

If the pudding is too thick, maybe you could mix a little skim milk in it to make it more the consistancy that would go through a straw. I hope this helps. Have a fast recovery!!
