I am 3 weeks out, and em enjoying such foods as sugar free jello pudding with protein powder added, cottage cheese w some applesauce on top, pureed egg salad (that I made so I can control the ingredients), tuna salad mixed well with cream cheese, all kinds of soups pureed, soft scrambled eggs, and f course, protein shakes because though there are many options, I can only really eat about 2 oz at a time so I'm still lacking in protein. I even had 2 pieces of sashimi the other night - I chopped it up and took small bites. Remember to chew everythign really well - it makes all the difference. I'm 3 weeks out yesterday and haven't had a problem wiht anything except yogurt - I can't find one that is low enough in sugar (the greek yogurt is too rich for me to tolerate). Good luck to you and I hope you do great!!!!

I even tried a Pintos n Cheese from Taco Bell this week which was good for 3 "meals" for me. Good luck to you and I hope you do great!!!!

I had to stay on liquids for 11 days before I could try pureed foods. You won't believe what I did at that point. I knew salmon had a lot of protein so I got a Lean Cuisine and baked the whole dinner. I then put the whole thing - salmon, veggies etc. - in the blender and pureed the whole thing. I wasn't able to eat the whole meal and it didn't exactly look pretty but it really didn't taste bad. I also pureed some chicken and ate it with chicken broth. Hope you're doing well.
