For me my puree stage is mixed with soft foods like scrambled eggs, cottage cheese, and such. These foods are so soft that after I have chewed it 15 times it is basically pulverized in my mouth. Remember you need 3 parts to make it "Soft foods" = Soft, Moist, and Tender.

Is your puree mixed with soft foods?

Here is what I ate today.

BF- Cottage cheese

Lunch- Smoked salmon (lox) with cream cheese & capers

Dinner- Grilled artichokes & hollandaise

Ooo I almost forgot to tell you that while I was on liquids I did have a lot of Tomato Soup with shredded cheddar in it. That seems to be my fallback on this stage too.

I'm on puree and haven't eaten a whole lot yet. However, I made deviled eggs last night and they taste sooo good! (hard boiled eggs are on my list--i just chew them up a lot).

Otherwise, I blended some tuna salad and that was fine. I also blended chili--I didn't love it. The only other thing I have eaten is refried Beans mixed with taco sauce and greek yogurt with cheese on top. It was good!

I am 12 days out and have been eating a lot of Greek Yogurt, low fat rigatta cheese with a little Tomato sauce mixed in, mashed potato with fat free gravy, and mushed vegies.

I hope to be cleared Monday although I broke down and has a scrambled egg and later a spoon of hummus! HUGE difference. Doesn't feel like I am obsessing about clears.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
