My first meal... It was so yummy but I was afraid to swallow. Took me 30 mins to eat 1/2 of this 1/2 cup serving. How are you all doing and what do you eat now as mushies? What was your first meal?

Hope everyone is doing great today!!!

Yummy! My first non liquid meal was lemon Chobani yogurt. Never tasted so good!

It's crazy how a portion that seemed so tiny before surgery now seems like A LOT of food! Eating 1 cup of food takes me 45 minutes and I feel stuffed. I am not on mushies anymore.. if mushies are the same as pureed food? I am on soft foods. Lots of ground meats, tilapia, and canned fruit.

I am on the first phase of soft so oatmeal, beans, eggs... I did have some canned chicken but I put it in the processor... It is crazy who so little seems like a lot

Very true.

I think I need to go to the grocery store to find more soft foods. I need more variety than ground meat, canned fruit and yogurt. Anyone have suggestions?

Also I discovered today that ground beef isn't a great choice for me. I didn't get stuck, but even with a ton of sauce it's still pretty tough to chew down. Fish, turkey and chicken go down easier. I really don't enjoy eating the way I used to... chewing something into mush isn't very tasty. lol.

I am doing refried beans with cheese for dinner tonight. So excited. I think variety really does help.
