Boring!

[ChattyPatty 3]

I find the puree stage to be boring for me. I love my liquid (no alcohol or carbonated drinks). The food is not enjoyable. I prefer shakes and Water. I try very hard to remember not to drink with my meals or after. I love my sugar free lime popsicles as we as other frozen sugar free.

I feel kinda stuck on the food part. Is cheese ok?? Im a cheesehead-Wisc girl here. Im used to making sandwiches and now no more. I cant wait till I start using romaine lettuce in my diet.

I now know what full feels like. Im good at stopping once Im full. I do Soups quite a bit.

Suggestions? Thanks, this board is very helpful and interesting. Im learning a lot from you guys!!

My dietitian let me purée chili and also have fat free refried Beans. I put a tiny bit of cheese on them. ( fat free)Any fat free Soups as long as no starchy Pasta or potatoes. Bean Soup was good or pea with ham canned was good. Good luck!

At that point I was just trying to get in some satisfying calories that would help with my Protein also...so cheese was involved. I don't eat it much now, but at that stage, I ate the Ricotta bake recipe a lot and also fat-free refried Beans with low-fat cheese. They were both staples for me. Best of luck!

Just keep in mind that once you're back on solid food, you'll want to pay much closer attention to the calories you consume and make sure they are nutritious and actually feeding your body. You'll have limited calorie intake so you definitely want them to count!
