Surgery was March 16 and I haven't eaten anything but liquids since March 1. So I'm hoping beyond hope that Saturday morning will be my first pureed meal.  SF, yogurt and creamed soups are getting very old. 

1.  Do you remember what you were wanting by the time you were able to eat pureed?

and

2.  Did you have any issues with it getting stuck or feeling sick?

Thanks for sharing!

I took a can of fat free refried beans and added a bunch of salsa to moisten it. I ate about 1/8th of a cup with a sprinkle of cheddar cheese on top. It was great!!!

banana with peanut butter.  I wanted meat.  It takes a little while to get adjusted at first so go really slow. 

I did not have issues with anything getting stuck but I ate a turkey meatball and it made my pouch un happy.

I'm pretty sure mine was scrambled eggs. What I was REALLY craving, was egg salad though.

 The first thing I really craved was meat. I had a small chicken meatball and it definitely got stuck. x_X Now I stick with canned tuna and mayo or something equally as soft.

I had Cream of Wheat in the hospital Day 2 after surgery.  Since it was only day 2, I had not even thought about eating anything at all let alone what I would want to eat, and I had no trouble with it whatsoever.  In 3.5 years, I have never had anything get stuck, only felt queasy after eating perhaps a dozen times, and have never vomited because of the food I ate (only vomited 4 times... either when I ate too much or ate something dry too fast).

MOST people have little trouble eating as long as they take things slowly and intrpoduce new foods slowly.  Unfortunately, the impression here is the opposite because it is the people who DO have trouble who post for help or support.

I had cream of wheat and then a little later I had some pureed mashed potatoes. I wanted to be really safe. It went down well. I had surgery the day before you. The only thing I found that didn't go down well was pureed corn. I also drank too much of a protein shake too fast.

Cottage cheese, applesauce, and refried beans are good.

I'm on that stage too!!! I had my surgery on 3/7/11. I had Loose cream of wheat, grits, sea bass, cream on spinach ( 2 tablespoons). I would say Protien Shakes are the most important, which I don't like at all, but have to drink.

My go-to pureed meal was LF Ricotta Cheese (seasoned with italian seasoning and parmesan cheese) with marinara sauce on top and melted mozarella.  A noodle-less lasagne.
