Post op diet killing me!!

[MistyB 3]

I am glad to report that I am 8 days post op and doing great! I have no discomfort swallowing except if I drink a big sip. But, I'm really feeling good. I have moved to creamed Soups which are very nice. Can't wait to have mushies.

I am 10 Days post op. I am starved!! I want mashed potatoes so bad I dream of them....ha ha! Not really but think of them probably more often than the normal Joe. I go to the Dr for my follow up on the 28 th. By then I will be 12 days out and praying he let's me have mushies. I am so so sick of soup!!! Broth!!! And Crystal light. Any more ideas on mushies besides mashed potatoes? I am sure that will get old just as quick as the broth and Soups. And this is the best site!! I love all the support and knowing someone's out there going through the same challenges or has been there. Thanks so much!!

I couldn't wait to have mashed pototes when I was allowed mushies. You can also do the refried Beans with a little bit of cheese. I also did pork and bean mashed with mini blender. Scrambled eggs are good also. I was told I could do like the WASA brand crackers as they practically turn to mush as soon as bite them so they are like mushies by the time you chew throughly. I have just started to add very finely chopped meat to my diet. I still do a Protein shake as a light night snack just to make sure I am all my Protein in. Hang in there it won't be long before you can move on to the next stage.

I added a little more milk to mashed potatoes and turned them into liquid.< /p>

It still tasted the same and was THIN like Soup
