Pureed to Soft Stage

[JRFuerst 8]

These last few days I was struggling on the pureed stage - yogurt, refried Beans, applesauce, I was just feeling BLAH after I would eat. Wednesday (today) I am to start the soft food stage. So over the weekend I bought tuna and mashed potatoes and cottage cheese. Today, I couldn't even get in 64 ounces of Water or 70 grams of Protein and thought there is no way I can start the soft food stage.

Tonight, I couldn't sleep. I was hungry, for the first time I felt hunger. I decided I would be brave and try the tuna mixed in with some applesauce. Strangely enough, I didn't feel miserable after eating it. I took small bites and ate slow. I think I had 5 or 6 bites over 30 minutes. Maybe I am ready for soft food, or maybe it was just a fluke. Then again, maybe it was mental and my body was getting sick of the same pureed stuff over and over and needed something of substance. Who knows, but at any rate, I will be gradually introducing the soft foods on schedule today.

Anyone else go through something like this?

I make my transition from Full liquids (puree) to soft foods on Friday. Looking forward to it but a bit anxious too. I haven't had any food issues so far. Hope it continues to go well for you!!!
