Hi every -one @ my support group.

Congrats!  It gets better each day! stick to your program and you will do great!

Puree was the worst part tried several things none that good. Did eat weight control Oatmeal with protein Whey powder, not bad. But the good news it doesn't last very long. Good Luck! Also I was the same with the broth loved it before could stand it after, but I did find warm liquid (decaf coffee & decaf tea) went down easier then cold liquids? C'ya Bob

Good for you!  Sounds like your'e off to a great start, keep it up!
