One week out..... what are you eating????

I am having a hard time eating anything pureed.  I have such a problem with textures when I eat.  Anybody have any suggestions?

Thanks!

I'm THREE weeks out and the doc still has me on clear liquids only. AND I have another week to go. So, you're lucky!!! Sorry for not giving any suggestions...I haven't gotten to that stage yet. *sigh*

How are you doing on liquids only? I had my surgery march 5th and this diet is killing me mentally. What kinds of things to you eat/drink? I have to stay on this diet for 3 weeks, 1 down and 2 to go and I'm counting...this is torture for me, sorry to complain but I'm being honest.

I'll admit it's ROUGH. I'm pretty much surviving on SF popsicles, broth, gatorade, water, protein shakes and SF jello. It sucks royally...but I know it'll be worth it in the end. You can do it! I believe in you!

Yeah I'm pretty much living on the same thing. Its so weird to me how the rules are different for the same surgery depending on what surgeon you have. Sometimes I wish I had a surgeon that allowed puree after a week...lol Your right I sure it will all pay off soon. takecare and thanks for believing in me, I'm struggling with believing in myself.

Yep, me too - still on clear liquid.  Started Protein shakes again yesterday.  Purees are week 4 for me I believe.

ya poor lady, clear fluids for that amount of time must be tough!

You'll definetly be better off though in the long run

 At one week out I was still on clear liquids, then two weeks full liquids and then pureed foods. 

I agree with other posts. I was on liquid for three and a half weeks, then three weeks on pureed food.  But every surgeon has different plans. 

I ate a lot of pureed lentils and also pureed beef stew.  Both were really good and filling.
