Blended Diet

Today is the first day of my blended diet. Does anyone have any suggestions or any advice that would help me? I am a little nervous because this is the first food I have eaten in a while because I have been on the liquid diet for 2 weeks before surgery and 2 weeks after. Any advice would be great!

Zandra- Welcome to this phase of your journey! By blended I'm assuming you mean pureed foods. When I was at that stage I lived on peanut butter, applesauce, cottage cheese, refried beans and protein shakes. Basically, you can have pretty much anything as long as it's soft like those foods and moist. It's totally a trial and error process though. One day something will go down fine, not so great the next...just keep trying things or find things you know work and stick to those. You may also want to check the forum for your surgery month...people on there may have some ideas since they're eating through that stage right now too! If you need any other ideas, let me know!

Christina, Thanks so much for the ideas.( I did not know I could have peanut butter.) This web site is new to me but it has really helped me. I will just try different foods and eat the ones that work for me. Thanks so much, Zandra
