Breakfast suggest Special K with milk but I got to let them soak till their mushy.. I don't care as long as it's not in the form of Jello or broth :-) I get also Protein, cream soup and yogurt . I'm looking at the menu like I'm looking a the menu of a fancy restaurant. Tomorrow cannot get here early enough. :-)

Today is Canada day so everywhere around me there's barbecue smell (burgers, chicken) this has been the hardest day so far. Also first post op activity which was strawberry picking. which sucks now that I found out I can't even have them in purée cause of the seeds :-( .

but Lost 6.5 pounds since surgery Monday (june 27)

Congrats on the weight loss! I feel your pain about the BBQ smells, this is a big holiday weekend because of July 4th and everyone is buying ribs and steaks and corn and all kinds of fabulous stuff to grill and I'm stuck with full liquids until next week. Yay. Plus no beer, no margaritas. But I've lost 14 lbs since my surgery on the 21st, so I'm focusing on that. Or trying to, anyway One bright point is that I'm able to have a couple of tablespoons of oatmeal mixed with milk...I had no idea something could taste sooooo good. I'm already looking forward to it tomorrow!

Remember ladies, that anything you "crock pot" and then put into the blender you can have on a pureed diet.

That opens up allllll kinds of weird but wonderful ideas.

Crock pot some ribs with a light Bar-b-q sauce and then blender it. The taste is there, if not the appearance. It resembles a pulled pork. --and is delicious!

You can do the same thing with a chicken and diet root beer. I know. It sounds "strange", but try it. You'll be pleasantly surprised.

Be creative and think outside of the box. The pureed level can be one of the most "fun" levels. You just "gotta wanna".

Good luck playing mad scientist!
