Hello Again!

I'm 8 days post op and get to start my mushies in 2 days So glad about that! But I have several questions:

1.) When it comes to eating mashed potatoes, is instant or regular better? And do I mix in my 1% milk, smart balance butter and alternative salt in?

2.) I know I can do mushie veggies and baked skinless fish, can I have vinegar on those?

3.) Tuna salad is on my mushie diet list. Can I just mix tuna and fat free mayo together?

4.) Also would love to hear what everyone else did or does on their mushie phase? Open to any and all sugguestions!

Questions not related to diet:

1.) Am I suppose to be able to feel my port? I feel like I have a huge golf ball in my belly

2.) My doctor never told me but when is it safe to take a bath instead of shower?

Thanks

I ate instand mashed potatoes for the convience mostly,

Not sure about thw vinegar thing.

I used fat free mayo in my tuna...i didnt really like the taste so i added a lttle mustard

I loved refried beans and a litle cheese..also loved scrambled eggs

I could feel my port..it felt like awtack of nickles..i was obsesed with touching it to make sure it was still there..lol

I was able to shower about 2 days after surgery..i had glue thoough

Hope this helps:-)
