Full liquid diet mess up?

My mom made chili tonight and we like our chili runny.  I took the chili and put it through a strainer and ate it that way.  It was so good and it was actually filling because I had two cups of it.   Now I feel like I cheated.  Would that be cheating?

yes,it would be cheating. That would be considered a purée.

Thanks for letting me know.  I have my pre op visit today and I will talk to the dietitian.
