I had my surgery Dec. 1, 2009 and am on stage 2 of the eating regiment (puree). Can I drink sugar free cocoa? Also, any suggestions for puree meals? Thanks!:thumbup:

I think Doctors opinions vary. Mine said yes and I drank it.

My nut said to use Swiss Miss Sugar Free. I drink it all the time.

i dont see why not some nuts say no artificial sweetners but its your personal choice. as far as pureed food you can steam any vegies and smash them with a fork thin them out with a little water milk or stock if you need too. Beans are a good source of fiber and protein. Cottage cheese, yougurt, kiefer, pudding, jello, I'm sure there are a ton more just these are the ones that come to mind.

There shouldn't be a problem with sugar free cocoa. I can't help with the pureed foods. I only had to be on them for 2 days and I chose to just drink protein shakes since nothing pureed appealed to me at all.

I have a SF cocoa in my coffee. It's pretty tasty.

Just mix it up well so you dont have clumps.

Yes to the cocoa, and FF refried beans with some salsa and cheese was my fav (also loved the greek yogurt, with the beans like sour cream or with some SF preserves).

I have the SF Swiss Miss packets and I just had some! There are no carbs and no sugar, I can't imagine that your doctor would be against you having it. I've TRIED adding chocolate protein powder to it, but, I haven't QUITE gotten the tempurature just right yet so that the whey doesn't curdle :willy_nilly:
