Dreaming of my first puréed bite
on 3/5/14 12:15 am - Canada
I tried everything and most things didn't agree with me; especially milk products. In the beginning everything tasted way too sweet to me. That has calmed down and I can now eat greek yogurt. Don't buy too much of any one thing until you know if you can tolerate it. I have wasted so much food over the last 2 months it's ridiculous!
Saturday will be my first puree day, I am excited as well! I am planning on mashed potatoes with cottage cheese. Yes.... I take a bite of cottage cheese with my mashed taters....it's just cheese....on potatoes. (My family has never understood this combo.) Going out for lunch with mom Saturday for my first two tablespoon meal, lol!

the NP at my surgeons office says she hates the word "pureed". She says you can eat pretty much anything (within reason) as long as you chew it really well or can ma**** with your fork. So my first "meal" was 1/4 of a meatball in red sauce. One of my favorites is a scrambled egg with a Laughing Cow mozzarella babybel cut up in it. Great boost of protein and its yummy. Today (3 weeks post op) I made my usual scrambled egg but also put a torn up slice of turkey in it and some milk. Canned chicken with a bit of mayo and a squirt of dijon mustard, I call it modified chicken salad. Thats a few of my staples.....
