I never would have thought the liquid stage could be sooo tasty.

So I'm 8 days post op and mostly content with ready to drink Protein Shakes, and assorted liquids. Once in awhile I get kind of antsy for a more flavorful concoction. Well I had to have something the other day so we threw some sirloin burger Soup and milk in the blender and liquefied it. Man was that good. So tonight we tried something else. I threw leftover tater tot casserole in the blender with cream of mushroom soup and milk. Wow...it tasted like tater tot casserole but liquid. I never knew how much I would enjoy something so simple that much.

Don't rush the puréed. You may slow healing. Just stick to your plan!

Its on my plan. As long as its the consistency of a liquid then I'm OK. I just double checked with the nurse today because my plan allows cream or blended Soups. She said if its runny enough to drink and there wasn't any chunks then its fine.

Gotta watch those high calorie items. Tater tot casserole is full of fat and sodium. Let the tool work for you.

Okey but its my tater tot casserole. I make it with extra lean ground turkey, low sodium fat free cream of mushroom Soup and low fat cheese. Even before surgery I had revamped most of my recipes to make them healthier. I took less than a tablespoon with no tater tot part. I just mostly wanted some extra flavor with my cream of mushroom soup. And my nurse said it was OK.

We eat such a small portion that the tater tot portion you ate I'm sure didn't hurt you! If little things like that satisfy you, and it is ok with your surgeon, GO FOR IT! Otherwise, you will get tired of this real quick. Glad it made you happy!
