Im half and half! For the most part its full liquid but ive mixed up some mushy food. I do my Protein Shake. Ive had mashed potatoes but i dnt like how heavy it sits on my sleeve. Scramble eggs and tuna sit well but i can only handle 3 tsp. Cottage cheese and cream canned Soup ive tried too.. i dnt think i can do the whole puree diet...

So far, I've had only shakes and just yesterday I tried yogurt. Nothing else. I need to live a little! lol

Just experiment on ur meals. What kind of shake do u have? I need some new ideas...

I have EAS ready to drink shakes in vanilla and I also have Syntrax Nectar. I am waiting on a mail order to come in so I can have a little more variety. Only 2 boring flavors for now! lol I tried the EAS strawberry also and they taste like strawberry quick to me. pretty good!

Some ideas to try with Protein shakes ... Mix with SF pudding, Greek yogurt (plain preferred), Kroger carb master yogurt, unsweetened almond milk, SF cool whip, SF syrups (davinci or torani), SF Creamer. Some docs and NUT allow fruit (berries preferred because they are lower in sugar than other fruit) and if they do allow it, you'll need to mix with Water rather than milk. Also adding ice and blending seems to make a world difference!!

I have tried quite a few different Proteins brands and flavors and have found that I like to use unflavored Protein so I can mix it up with all the things I mentioned above. Happy experimenting!

Hey chunkychick...welcome to the Losers team. Sounds like you are doing well. I had surgery 6 months ago and am feeling great, losing slower now but not gaining, and that was the old life...I could lose but always gained it back.

Soft/pureed food...let's see, refried Beans with melted cheese, crock pot meals, mashed potatoes with canned chicken and chicken gravy, tuna fish, yogurt, cottage cheese with canned fruit, soft scrambled eggs, SF pudding, Soups, ricotta bake (layers of marinara, ricotta cheese and motzarella baked in a ramekin) hot Cereal.

I do weigh myself but I don't obsess, it comes off when your body is ready to release the weight, just stay focused and you'll have success!
