Pureed Foods - Not so easy

Hey Trisha, I am also on the pureed diet now, although I find it easier to "cheat" if you call it cheating. I think I am only to have things that have been blended, but I find myself having things like egg salad and chpped beef. You need to chew, and I am having no problems with anything, but I feel like I am cheating. I was on clear liquids for 2 weeks and was excited about moving up to this stage, but I am just really wanting for things to be normal. I know that it all takes time, BUT...nobody ever said that I was patient. counting down the days for real food April 11th...woohoo...lol Tara
