Thanksgiving: 8 Days Post-Op

[MindiJean 93]

Should we buy the grocery store small turkey dinner (turkey, stuffing, potatoes, gravy, green bean casserole and cranberry fluff) for my husband and I can have pureed turkey. Or should I send him to a friend's house for a big dinner. Or should we stay home and he can have a turkey sandwich?

My post-op diet, and diet before leaving the hospital, is pureed with no Liquid Protein diet.

I am not sure what you will have to do.. I had my surgery and was in the puree'd stage for a big birthday celebration .. We went to a steak house.. I had mashed potatoes and applesauce.. at that point however I didn't care.. I was happy to have food of any kind.. not sure if you would feel up to cooking so if someone else has dinner I would suggest you go to that.. I tried to keep my husband's diet pretty normal.. he's had cancer and I can't let him lose weight so I have to cook for him and then I eat my 1 cup of food accordingly.. You will be fine...
