[MeghannKay 4]

I'm on my full liquid phase and ill be one week post op tomorrow. How did y'all get through? I need some tips!

I still have my puréed phase, then soft food phase to go before I get to eat real food

HELP

I found full liquids to be really tough, because it felt like everything I could eat was sweet-jello, pudding, Popsicles, Protein shakes... I wanted something savory so bad! Thankfully puréed foods have been much easier to handle and allow for much more variety! Hang in there!!!

I took some pinto Beans added chicken broth blended and strained it. I actually started purée earlier than my doctor ordered but I needed something. Started w a scrambled egg and are it very slowly. The liquids were definitely the hardest phase. I REALLY struggled w it so I can relate. Luckily I had no issues w nausea gas etc but I felt ok moving ahead a couple of days early.

Also I started a recipe book for myself. Believe it or not it helped - of course I have food for a week planned out now!

Liquid is a tough stage. I'm on puréed and I can have cottage cheese, tuna fish, chicken salad, mashed potatoes. Soups with soft veggies, and scrambled eggs.. It's a lot better than the liquid stage. I have ate too fast and got sick so it's important to remember to eat slow and space it out.

So do you purée all that up before you eat it ? I'm not sure i can stomach blended up meats-- are they bad ?

I made creamy Soups, blended, then strained it. Helped a lot with full liquids.
