Hey guys, newbie here! Anyways I just had my surgery on the 21st of June with my best friend. It was a last min thing (probably not the best idea) but surgery went great even with little to no clear liquid diet before surgery. We both had our days were one of us feels like crap and the other is in a good mood being a great support person. But it's just really depressing because we can't eat the foods we love and we both know its all in our heads. Im here basically right now trying to find amazing recipes we could cook up when we get to have puree foods. Im really just wanting to eat mashed potatoes right now because broth and Jello is honestly getting old. We should be good to start puree kind of foods on the 28th. So if anyone has recipes or could link me that would be amazing!

Thank you guys!

Welcome. Did your doc/ nut give you a plan to follow post op? If you google puréed foods you will get a ton of good recipes. Ricotta bake is one I like a lot. Homeade Soups and broths are a good choice. Yogurt, cottage cheese, tuna, chicken, and egg salad also.

We did get a little sheet before we left from our stay there. It just gives us like the basic of basic stuff. Like week one Clear Liquids, week two we can add Protein Shakes and continue the clear liquids, week 3 we can add creamy soups and so forth. A good friend of mine got hers done back last year and was 5 days out eating mashed potatoes with no issues, she had the same doctor as my friend and myself. So I was thinking of giving soft foods a try but eating them really slow of course.
