When can i eat pureed food.

When can i eat pureed food. I would really like to eat something i am tired of liquid, and I also feel like it would really help wtih my energy level if i could get some protein in. Can you help me?

Hey Jillian I was cleared for pureed foods 8 days after surgery. But in the meantime you can start onthe protein shakes to ensure your intake is sufficient. The liquid stage got old quick and from what I hear so will the pureed stage. I have been living on a scrambled egg with 1 oz of refried beans as well as homemade chicken soup lots of veggies no noodles then blended in a food processor tastes great but looks funny. Another tip that seems to help me is to use very small plates. I am using my sons old baby cereal bowl to make the egg and beans seem larger than what they are. Even though i get quite full after it is finished(never thought I would see the day) Good luck to you.

Hi Jillian This is something that needs to be discussed with your Doctor.Didn't they give you a guide with what you are to have at the differnt stages?if so follow it to the T and don't deviate from it.If they did not give you a guide I would call them immediatly and get one. Honey none of us are qualified to tell you when you can and can't have you have to get that from your Dr. Good Luck! Nancy
