almost 2 weeks post -op

Hello everyone I'm almost two weeks as of Monday the 13th. I spoke to Elina today and she sais it would be alright for me to start soft foods on Monday. To date I have lost 27lbs. This liquid diet has not been easy whew , but I took no shortcuts. Any good recipes for puree stage. Please Send me information on foods. Thank You all again for your support. Oh yeah how do I set up my page? I would like to post pictures and all. This is a journey for the rest of my life.

Hi Tt, As far as soft foods, anything that you like to eat regularly can be placed in a food chopper and turned into soft food. The baby food is yukk. I put shrimp and a little may in my mini food processor and made yummy shrimp salad. If the family was having chicken parm, would cut a small piece and put it in the food processor. They sell them at wal mart for like 12 dollars and are are worth every cent! Try not to eat anything too spicy, but like I said, you can put things from turkey hot dogs to baked chicken to pieces of pork chops in the food processor for a good meal. You have to remember to add a litle moisture to whatever you process, be it mayo, a little broth, or salad dressing. Ranch dressing and grilled chicken make a yummy salad. Take care and keep up the great work ! Julio!
