Hello - I am almost two weeks out of surgery, beginning to consider the "after soup" life.

So far I have had no issues at all. I can drink and eat (liquids and blended soups) what I want.

...but I guess I enjoy the benefits of liquids going 'right through the pipe'.

What happens once I move to more solid food? Any advice? The transition from liquids to more solid foods - how do I handle this most carefully?

Measure everything and start off small.  I had pureed foods after full liquids and I started with 1 ounce.  Then I went to 2.  It took a while to get to 3.  Make sure to keep your foods moist as well!

i agree, go slow, i did thicker soups like a split pea with ham with the chunks pureed. the first egg i had was amazing! going slow helps so you don't take too many bites. i find some soups i can only get 1/4 cup in. same with soft fish and egg.
