Had my two week post op appt with surgeon today. Surgeon very impressed with recovery and progress. Down 24lbs and many inches. Said I even look in better spirits, which I am. Body Aches and pains are virtually minimal. Gave the all clear to introduce ground meat, flaky fish, well sautéed veggies(this Italian need his mushrooms, onions, peppers, and garlic in tomato gravy) along with pureed/mushy foods. So Blended up 2oz of ground turkey taco meat as the rest of fam was having tacos, put in a mug, mixed in some sour cream, sprinkle of shredded cheddar, and dab of organic salsa. The taste was oh so heavenly and was nice to enjoy same meal as the fam! Thirsty as all heck as the drinking during eating is one of my toughest struggles at the moment, and the clock doesn’t seem to be moving. Still long way to go obvi but I’ll take a good day like this along the way anyday!

Great job! I too have a hard time Not drinking while eating!
