I think I made an ok choice...

I'm still on pureed foods and usually have Soup for lunch. Today I was stuck in a meeting that ran late and by the time I made it to the cafeteria soup was pretty much gone. So I went with a burger patty, no bun. I ate tiny bites. I dipped in mayo and ketchup and CHEWED like crazy!!

My other options were salad bar, deli sandwhich or a slice of pizza.

Good choice or bad choice for pureed stage?

Well, by the time you chew the bejeebers out of it, ground beef might just as well be a puree. Under the circumstances, you probably made the best choice possible.

Would it be possible for you to keep an emergency stash in a desk drawer for times like this, though?

I agree. It was better you ate something than nothing at all. Sounds like you did the best you could.

When I was in pureed stage, hamburger was one of the choices...anything that could basically become mush... so don't worry too much!:thumbdown:
