I am 15 days post-op and I didn't puree anything to be honest. I was discharged from he hospital on full liquids plus yogurt. The first couple of daysI was home the protein shakes and yougurts were too thick adn I couldn't handle them. I had to water them down. Now that I can have soft foods I eat egg whites, hummus, pink salmon and tuna that come sealed in individual pouches, cottage cheese, laughing cow cheese slices, oatmeal, cream of wheat etc. You can certainly mix it up so you aren't totally misreable as long as you adhere to the easier food on your tummy. Better to be safe than sorry!!!!!!!!!
