Im a part of the crappy crew that even when I got to the puréed stage I still even though I wanted them very very very much could t tolerate anyyyything on the puréed list 😭🙁

[PTARMT 13]

I’m so sorry! That’s awful! 😬

[Jbyerly101 13]

That’s horrible. I’m hoping I will be able to tolerate eggs, even if it’s only three bites.

I’m in full liquids now too, another week to go! Sleeve on 7/30. I can’t wait to even sort of chew again 😝

Say grace,

have you seen the blog The world according to egg face? Just search for purée recipes. I am on purée and just tried her ricotta bake. It was amazing. I figured that her recipe makes 6 servings, 105 calories, 9.1 Protein grams, carbs 3.6 grams. Just an idea. You may have to leave the mozzarella off if not allowed

i haven’t but i’m going to look it up now! i’m allowed to have a bit of cheese. i’m going to call tomorrow and ask if fish is okay, i love salmon and haddock and tuna so hopefully they say yes. and puréed chili sounds pretty good too, thanks for the ideas all!

I start my soft foods diet next week. I am so ready! Already making out my grocery list. I love Mexican food and can't wait to have some! I know I can't put all the usual toppings, but even a little will be just as good. Soft tortillas are supposed to be ok. Has anyone tried it during the soft foods phase?

[sentaric 54]

Your killing it saygrace!!!!
