difficulty with pureed

it takes times to move to each stage. the first day on pureed was a challenge....I could handle maybe 2-3 teaspoons. Also, it's the only day that I actually lost my lunch, per se. I eased into this stage using liquids and pureed. It's much better now.

thanks for the tip melody! i will try that next time.

I cheated today. Puréed is still a week away. But I wanted to feel texture in my mouth. Scrambled eggs are on my puréed list. I mixed an egg with a little of my double milk, whipped it, then scrambled it, until it was fully cooked, but not dry.

I ate tiny bites... Mincing it up good. Within 30 minutes, I ate 1/2 of that egg! Yeah, it felt funky going down, but I swallowed a tiny sip of water with each bite, and it seemed to work. AND, I satisfied my urge to chew something.

And, since it was only 1/2 of an egg, I don't feel ashamed.

ive been thinking about trying an egg for breakfast, might try this tomorrow!

The scrambled egg seemed to go down best for me at first with the pureeds. My dietician actually let me go on pureeds a week early, so I only did full liquids for a week and 2 days and everything went pretty well besides oatmeal at first. I really needed more milk in there. Sorry to hear about the difficult times..but I am also having a hard time getting in all the water. 50 oz is a pretty good day for me.
