Thanks for posting this. At 5 weeks out, I was recently thinking about this. Now I know I have to wait a lot longer.

I struggle with missing bread sometimes. There are just some sandwiches that aren't the same without bread, like a pressed cuban. Burgers get a little boring without buns, too, but it's totally worth it. I ate chili during my pureed stage, even took it into the movie theater in place of popcorn, haha. Also, hot wings with blue cheese are a staple in my life, but I can only eat like 3 at a time. I mainly try to keep my carb intake low and don't fuss over fat content.

I've always loved seafood but used to only eat it ocassionally. I'm 5 weeks post op now and at least 1/3 of my diet is seafood. I started eating fish when I was on soft foods and chewed good. Now, I make boiled shrimp all the time and dip in cocktail sauce. I've also had lobster, crab, and the fish include salmon, tilapia, mahi mahi, white fish, catfish. I haven't had any issues but I also don't have anything breaded or fried. Spicy, cajun, blackened all do just fine, I haven't had any issues with spicy foods.
