I was cleared for purée foods yesterday and I'm afraid to eat the wrong things! I've created a routine with my protein and water that eating would interrupt it!! I know it's important to start the process of a "normal" routine (I work full time ) but I'm afraid to vary from what I'm doing now!!????????????

Just start slow and see what works for you. I started with cottage cheese and greek yogurt. They are both good blasts of Protein. Then I added in some scrambled eggs. Then I made egg salad too and that was tasty.

The key is to eat VERY slowly and in tiny amounts and see what works. If something doesn't sit well with you, then hold off on eating it again for a week or so. My nutritionist did tell me not to give up on a food if it made me feel uncomfortable the first time I tried it, because the next time I tried it, it might be just fine. The key is to go very slowly so you don't eat too much of something that disagrees with you before you realize it.

I agree. Just go slow and try one food at a time. You may find you like adding a bit more variety to your menu of choices.

I, too, was afraid to eat. Just keep working on your Protein shakes and Water until you feel like trying more. Little bites, really soft foods, really slow.

I was the slowest progressor ever and I lived.

Thank you guys ... I think I'll start with yogurt and see how it goes!!!????????

Also, someone posted here about GENEPRO unflavored Protein powder with 30 grams of protein. I had a hard time finding thing I could tolerate at first. By adding the GenePro to the yogurt or cottage cheese I got to my protein goals.
