I have been eating food and I’m 1 month out. Eggs, chicken, have no issues. Lost 35 lbs so far, I never did the purée stage I can’t stand anything purée.
I’m now at 3 weeks and what I found that worked is get a snow cone machine I have a Hawaiian Shaved ice machine it will allow you to keep the ice in your mouth longer. I found that I wanted to drink because my mouth was so dry but could not get water down. This will help. You can get sugar free mixes but I just eat it plan with nothing on it.
