One thing you need to remember as well is to take time for your meal. I know what the pace is like in the ER, you won't be able to gobble your food down and get back to work. You have to take some time for yourself. It took me some time to get used to this, but when i eat, i take a bite, then put the fork down and chew. Each bite i do that. Its now a habit for me, it makes you slow down.

My pureed stage, i had scrambled eggs, lots of yogurt(low carb, some have a lot of sugar), refried Beans, which after 4 weeks of liquids was great, once i handled that ok, i had tuna fish, etc. Just because its called the pureed stage doesnt mean it has to be pureed. ohh, cottage cheese was on that list, but the only thing i like to do with cottage cheese is scrape it into the trash. Best of luck to you.

Something that helped me through every stage was the website theworldaccordingtoeggface. She had gastric bypass and she has awesome recipes. I never pureed anything. Her ricotta bake is awesome for that stage and she has a ton of Protein shake recipes too. I just printed a lot of her stuff out and put it in a binder like a cookbook.
