I’m at 1 week post op and on purées. I’m finding my cramps are absolutely unbearable! I am so hungry! But I am super active and nothing is cutting my need to eat. I am so frustrated because I truly have no clue what my body is telling me it needs or wants. But I can tell you I know when I let the desire of my eating before, win out…I pay for the entire day! I think I am going back to the liquid stage for a day or two and then going to progress a little at a time! We all got this! I hate journaling, but I am finding the necessity of it too!

If you have a food processor and you cook your meat until it flakes you don’t have to “purée” it. My favorite is chicken, refried beans, salsa, and white Mexican cheese. Then put it all in the food processor again and magic! I do the same thing with my pad Thai chicken. I have a gluten allergy so I already had to use rice everything. I make my pad Thai without the noodles and put it all in the food processor and it is heaven! And I don’t feel like I am missing meals with my family!
