I have been soooo good with my broth and shakes, I am honestly just craving the ability to chew food, or a change in texture.

Would it be the worse thing in the world to start my purée stage and vitamins a day early??

I did bc my stomach felt ready but I did eat really slowly. I didn't do well with eggs for several weeks.

I started one day early too.

I’d follow your plan

I doubt one day will hurt anything, but it's also a good idea to follow the surgeon's plan.

I started mine 5 days early. I really had a tough time ummm, not eating anything after the surgery! Do it slow if you're going to do it, and in little amounts and watch how your body react.

Three women in my surgical group did and they said it was a-ok.

I was just thinking the same! I'm supposed to start pureed on Thursday but I can't take it anymore, I'm going to try scrambled eggs tomorrow.

a precaution on scrambled eggs... they are considered a soft under a lot of plans and not a puree. My first few times on scrambled eggs were pretty rough. If you have not experienced restriction yet go very slow if you absolutely must.

YES! I wish I would have known this sooner. I tried scrambled eggs for breakfast and barely finished my 2oz serving and felt sick. It just didn't settle well at all. I'm trying cottage cheese now (which I hated prior to surgery) and it's surprisingly good and settling a lot better.

Cottage cheese is life. I have a cup every single day. I never bought it pre-op, but now I am obsessed with it.

You can puree up some hardboiled eggs w/ mayo/mustard for egg salad as an option. Scrambled eggs were more difficult.

@mousecat88 I will definitely try that for dinner tonight!

Revisit in a few days it will get easier. The wet kind seem to go down easier. Enjoy that restriction feeling.

Also something I tolerated well during puree was beanless chili. I bought 2oz baby food storage containers off Amazon and pre-portioned out cans of it. Annnnnd now I want chili. lol
