Today I got to start on puree. I had my first meal. It was 1/2cup 4 oz of cottage cheese. I did take heed and I blended it up. It took me a good 45 mins to finish it. And let me tell you.. It was the best darn cottage cheese I ever had. I savored each bite/slurp. I was afraid as you don't know how things are going to go and I took a good pause inbetween each slurp just to be safe. I am hoping I get more pep in my step after a few days. I just wanted to share. Glad liquids are for the most part behind me. So those on liquids keep plugging.. you will get to the next stage.

Hi Maranda,

I get to start on what my doctor says is the magic 5 for days 5-7.

Lowfat, small curd cottage cheese

refried Beans (!!!????!!!)

sugar free pudding

egg beaters

low carb yogurt

He says if we can tolerate these then we are ready for the mushie stage. I am not sure about the beans though! I have homemade ones and will heat then puree them. Good luck with your semi-solids!

Hi Maranda, that's great news! I am only 4 days post op and still can barley tolerate liquids. In fact, I'm having a tough time with my Protein shakes and can't chew my Vitamins yet. But I think this will pass, right?

Congratulations. Look forward to hearing more of your success, as it's such an encouragement for those of us right behind you.
