So my surgery was on 4/25 and I can now be on a purred diet. I'm out of town at training for my new job this week and next and am trying to figure out what I can eat. Any help is appreciated as the dietician I met with was not extremely useful.

Hi-

Yogurt, well-mashed refired Beans, well mashed potato or yam, well-chewed cottage cheese. Anything you can get to a pureed consistency. Just remember to measure so you don't get too ful and make yourself uncomfortable.

Good luck!

Soups also

try to grab some easy things for eating. Simple makes your choices better...at least for me. Big container of cottage cheese is cheaper, but the 3.5 oz servings are easier and pre measured. Single serve apple sauces (don't need to be refrigerated) same with pudding cups (sugar free of course...lol) Maybe some of those nuke-able soup at hand things of soup? I did like refried beans with some weight watchers shredded cheese melted on top, then add a smidge of Guacomole and sour cream...mmm, seemed decadent after all the stuff like soups! If you're going out to eat though, stick with soups. I did order crab legs out...they were nice because it took me as long to crack and eat those as it did for others meal. It made my small serving not as noticable. Good Luck!

Thanks for all the help! I got some yogurt tonight to keep in my room--the hotel provided me with a fridge. I went across the street and had some tomato basil soup at Corner Bakery. I feel like I'm going to turn into a can of soup with as much soup as I've eaten in the past 2 weeks! I am looking forward to some refried beans with cheese and maybe some ricotta cheese with a tomato sauce topping. YUMMY!
