Hi. In preparation for my puréed stage (surgery date was 5/10), during the purée stage does anyone know any restrictions on spices and seasoning? (It won’t be anything spicy, I don’t do that). What about Everything But the Bagel seasoning? Thank you

I would think the only concern would be the small seeds. If they were to get into a healing surgical place, that would not be a good thing IMHO.

yes - the only thing we had to watch out for early out was small seeds. Since Everything But the Bagel has poppy seeds in it, you might want to hold off for a month or so on that one. But most spices and seasonings, no...they should be fine.

Thank you both so much, makes perfect sense. I will wait!!!

Yep to avoiding seeds. I had problems with fresh herbs at first. A bit coarse & difficult to swallow unless they were in paste form & puréed well.

Congrats on your surgery.

it's one of those internet abbreviations. It stands for "in my humble opinion"

I used Mrs. Dash and liked it so much that I still use it.

LOL well maybe if I can remember them.

It can get confusing & there always seems to be a new abbreviation to learn. Years ago there was a story in the Australian papers about a businessman who thought LOL meant lots of love & thought a female colleague was being unprofessional in her emails &/or was making advances & made a complaint to their HR dept. At least you asked. If he had it wouldn’t have hit the papers as an embarrassing story. LOL

I heard a story (and maybe this is some fake story that's been circulating - I have no idea) that someone announced online or an email that her spouse (or some other loved one) had died, and some wrote "LOL". They thought it meant lots of love!

Oh no. I hope that one was just an urban myth. How awful.

I hope it is, too - that WOULD be awful!
