I have been on pureed food for a couple weeks, and still have to wait until I get cleared for reg food on 4/27, the pureed food is driving me nuts! Today I went to the store, bought some fresh 98% FF ham, 98% FF turkey from the deli, and a package of reduced fat swiss cheese. I got home and rolled up two slices of turkey meat, two slices of ham, and one slice of cheese with a touch of mustard in the middle, then I chewed, and chewed it, and chewed it........ I couldn't finish the whole thing, but that was just fine with the dog since he gets all my left overs. I just finished eating it, and I do feel full, but I dont feel sick or anything. Has anyone else broke the pureed rules?

I was back on solid foods by 4 weeks. I am sure you will be just fine with eating the little bit you ate..

Don't fret over that. As long as you didn't make yourself sick, it was pure protein. Dont worry about it, but keep it in check until the doc oks.

deli meat and soft cheese are on my mushies list, so I don't think you are in much danger there. I have a slice of deli turkey rolled with cream cheese once every day, usually in the morning.

Take care,

Lara

Deli cut shaved turkey and cream cheese are on my mushy list as well!

I was back on solids in two weeks... My surgeon let you start earlier than most. I'm sure you will be fine and good luck to u!!!
