As stated, I'm just over 2 weeks out. I'm supposed to be on puréed, but I am still hungry all the time. No appetite for anything sweet, like pudding, shakes, or yogurt. Everything I had tried has sat well: banana, bacon, white fish, tuna, and chili, so I feel like I could eat something more substantial. I had chili yesterday and today, and while yummy, it's essentially chunky Soup. I want real FOOD! Like, a hamburger. Or a buffalo chicken salad from chilis. I want to eat and chew. But at the same time, I'm so scared. Is there a gateway food anyone could suggest? Like, something that will satisfy but is not likely to upset the pouch?

All nutritionists are different, but mine told me I can eat most foods as long as they are mashable with a fork. The other night I had a turkey patty with melted cheese and low fat mayo. It was delicious and went down just fine. I'm 17 days out as well.

Oooh, what kind of turkey patty? Tell me more!

Store brand, premade turkey patties. Not frozen. It was like a cheeseburger without the bread, and tons of protein!

My gateway food was shrimp and crablegs.
