Am home and doing great.

Lap rny on Jan 18 home on 20. Sore, but getting better. Am very tired of drain tube. Can't wait to get rid of that. Protein drinks make me gag, so am trying pureed cottage cheese with a strawberry in it. works so far. Got 50 grms in yesterday. Amazing what we can puree. LOL Anything sweet also makes me gag, and I was an avid sweet eater before. Water is slow, but I think it will come eventually, getting 35 to 40 oz in now. Need to up that. Rhonda

Welcome home Rhonda and congrads on having your surgery. I love the puree stage of food. I am having oatmeal with milk, cheese eggs, ham/pintos with cheese, pork chops with mushroom gravey and potatoes. We just have to be creative so the pureed food doesn't get boring. I can't handle pureed chicken or crystal light don't like the taste. Before surgery, I loved them. Best wishes, Tammie G. new loser

Rhonda - I had same surgery same day. Am doing well, find that if I put frozen strawberries and splenda it makes the CIB taste better and easier to tolerate. Hang in there, I just keep focusing on the outcome.
