@ag4125 My Prayers are with you

@LovetheNewMe- Very well said, and I definately got something from it.

@ Cnewme, check out this site: bandfriendlyrecipes.com

I haven't had surgery yet but I did try out a couple of things i read from this site and another. Just trying to test out foods. Try this; 1/4 cup low- fat ricotta cheese, I sprinkle a little italian seasoning on it, couple of tablespoons of marinara sauce, sprinkle some parmsean, and a little mozzrella cheese and microwave for 1 minute. Believe me I was smiling and said " ok when I do my pureed diet I can handle this.

Another thing I tried was ricotta cheese mixed with applesauce and sprinkle some applespice seasoning in it. (I didn't have applespice, so I used allspice) It was good.

I like your Real Talk, straight to the point and you didn't sugarcoat anything. Sorry you had a miserable start, but I'm glad you are feeling better now. Congradulations

@imaluckydog Thank you for the kind words, you definately made my day.I was about to delete it off because I wasn't sure a poem was appropriate for this site. I realize people are looking for Q&A solutions. But I like to write about the deeper inner feelings of the soul and was hoping it touched somebody. So again thank you.
