Purees!!!

Today was an amazing day for two reasons:

* I am cleared for purees

* I don't have to crush my meds any longer!

Omg. Right now, I have the most amazing scrambled egg I've ever eaten. I can't fini**** but I don't care because it's not yet another sweet shake/pudding/etc. 

My surgeon is also very happy with how I'm healing, and my general progress. :) 

EGGS!

I get to move to soft foods tomorrow and a scrambled egg is the first thing I plan to try!  I'm with you on the no more sweet!

I also bought some refried beans, and I'm unreasonably excited to try them later on tonight :D

I bought some too, and I am going to make a pot of beans this week to freeze for later.

Soooo envious - I have to wait til Saturday lunch. I'm so tired of protein shakes & applesauce

Purees were a huge step in the right direction for me too. I have invested in a magic bullet. Now I puree the healthy meal my family is having (with heavy concentration on the protein of course) and wooooo**** all up. My son is thrilled... he's sharing Mommy's food at 9 months old. LOL I'm telling you puree was a great day!

I'm not even there yet... but I'm already thinking of healthy purees.  How about pureed grilled cauliflower with laughing cow light chipotle cheese.... MMMmmmm, or canned chicken pureed with laughing cow blue cheese and a few drops of Frank's Hot sauce. Double yum....

 

Ooh, the Laughing Cow cheese and chicken one sounds good! It didn't occur to me that I could mash the LC cheeses up into things! 

 

I tried a scrambled egg this morning.  I could only finish half of it, and it really wasn't as good as I had been anticipating :(  Mashed potato with some chicken broth in place of gravy was pretty tasty, though.
