Not sure why but took a bite of a string cheese thinking I could chew it up good enough. I’m still in purée stage. It did not end well. Hoping it goes thru all those small holes. I was feeling a little cocky up until then.

I was only doing shakes and water 2 1/2 weeks then my RD had me try all these different things but the only thing that went down and i felt no fullness or pain was string cheese and sweet potatoe i had to try something and today starts week 4 ...yesterday i had a small piece of boiled chicken on bone it went down great i can not do chicken breast i do not like meat that isn't on a bone all the flavor comes from the bone.....and remember chew chew chew until your food is almost like liquid in your mouth

I understand it's human. But it can also be dangerous. Ask some of the vets here about the people who eat pizza 1 week out or fried chicken the day after surgery. The docs make these rules not to be sadists, but through experience...

I had a friend who had a fried chicken wing 4 days after surgery that was mental!!! He had to go through the whole process to check for leaks in the staple line... I can definitely say that at 4 days I didn’t even want liquids in my mouth but yes the rules are godly.
