What to eat

I am suppose to start a puree diet on Thursday (2 weeks post-op) and I am not really sure what to start eating. I am almost scared to even try it. It will have been 3 weeks since I have had any food. The dietician gave me some ideas, but I am one of those that needs menus for each meal. What did you all eat at first? I appreciate any help. Thanks. Barb

Barbara, I'm sure you're doing fine! I keep waiting to see you online so that we can chat. Put me on your buddy list : staceyy4u

I'm not so good with computers, but I will try to add you. Thanks. Barb

First of all I want to congratulate you for getting to that 3 week milestone. When I was able to eat I started out with tuna fish (sma**** up to mush) and put low fat mayo in it. I also added some pickle juice. You could add some hard boiled egg in it also. I ate yogurt alot and suger free pudding. At thanksgiving (which was my first meal puree) I had mashed potatos, jello salad, brocoli and cheese (very mushy) suger free pumkin pie, cottage cheese. Alot of people eat baby food, that was not an option for me I just couldn't do it. Make sure you have your protien first! Drink your water! I drink this new flavor of chystal lite called Sunshine. It is orange and it is fantastic. Good luck with everything and God bless you this Christmas. (we have alot to thank God for) Penni
