Hello I had surgery 1/23/18 and tomorrow is the first day I can have pureed foods. I'm so excited about it but not sure where to start? Any suggestions or tips?

This site has a lot of good ideas. The ricotta bake was one of the things that helped keep my sanity. It was as close to "real food" as I could get and it tastes wonderful.

I did a bunch of Campbell’s chunky soup’s. Delicious!

Did you just blend them?

Cottage cheese, refried beans with melted cheese on top, mashed sweet potatoes, mashed (pureed) carrots, yogurt (watch sugar and carb content). I was allowed to have pureed tuna or chicken, I mixed it with a little mayo, or you can mix it with plain greek yogurt and season it up. Hummus is good, especially if you make it homemade. @orionburn great suggestion of the ricotta bake and eggface's site. I did the ricotta bake too, and yes, it was delicious!

Also, during the pureed stage, I mixed in a little Isopure or Unjury brands of unflavored protein powder to get my protein. You can mix it into refried beans, cottage cheese, yogurt, etc.

Beans and Ricotta bake were tough for me initially so I mostly had soup (I would purée it in the blendor). The most common was lentil soup, which has good protein. Split pea was ok too. Plus you get your fluids in at the same time. We were also allowed cottage cheese, which after lots of chewing was good.
