I know I can't even do Protein to much!!!! I can't eat much!!! I wanna eat so bad lol but this is more mental than physical like I was told it would be

[Sabredy12 55]

I was eating three pureed meals a day before I left the hospital. Some surgeons do it that way. At two weeks out, I was eating regular soft food. I've lost 25 lbs since surgery on Nov 20

[Sabredy12 55]

I might try some mash tomorrow so mmmmmm

[chanelle102 173]

Yes every doctor is different. They want me to eat but I'm scared. Mashed potatoes or mad foods?

[MindiJean 93]

I had pureed Proteins. I still only eat Proteins. Egg, tuna, chicken, cheese, cottage cheese, fish.

[chanelle102 173]

Mindijean can you give me some ideas of food you puréed? So I can do the same also!!! Tasty ones please

Do you like hummus?? That was the easy part for me to decide. Black Beans, kidney beans, all are ok puréed. Try to stay away of what you KNOW is bad. Like the mashed.... Once you fun something you enjoy, stick with the usual. broth, some canned veggies( since there soft) tuna fish, can fruits. I hope you find something to enjoy!!
