What Am I Supposed To Eat?

[Cmullinvegas 39]

I am two weeks post-op. Doc said 2 weeks of full solids now too weeks of mush/puree. I don't know the difference between mush and soft foods. I have visitors right now so we've been out all day long and have eaten at a few restaurants. I had chicken lettuce wraps but only ate the chicken and tofu part which is cut up super small. I had some baked Beans, tuna, salmon, scrambled eggs, and mashed potatoes. This has been the past 4 days. I feel fine, just tired. Everything went down and I stopped when I burped and/or hiccuped. Is my eating okay or am I doing something wrong?

Every nutrition plan is different. My pureed foods list also included canned tuna and chicken, soft cheeses, etc. I also didn't have to actually puree a lot of the foods as long as I chewed thoroughly and kept things moist enough.

I would ask your nutritionist if there is a recommended foods list for each stage. Here is the link to the website where my surgeon/nutritionist's office posted their food lists:

Thanks Indy. I want to treat my sleeve well, but right not I feel a little guilty and am not sure if I should. I'm trying to listen to my body.
