I started a day early

I am supposed to start soft foods tomorrow, but I tried some today. I have been a bit worried that I would go to work and have lunch and end up ill because my body couldn't handle whatever I am having. So, I decided to try a few bites today. I made Shelly's Ricotta Bake and Shelly's Cheesy Cauliflower with ground turkey. When putting away the Ricotta bake, there were about 4 little bites left so I ate them. OH. MY. It was delicious. So far, so good. Don't feel sick, nothing hurts. It's been about 20 minutes. I would think I would be in pain or sick by now. I think I may try an egg later.

 

Good luck with the transition!

Thank you!

Each time I did a transition, I made sure that I was no where "awkward" while trying new foods.

That's exactly why I thought I was better off trying a couple things today. I do not want to end up sick at work.

Are those recipes or a product you bought ? Those are considered smashed/ mashed foods I assume? Our physicians seem to all use different terms

They are recipes from Eggface. My doctor says anything blended or easily mashed with a fork (soft foods), including fish, cooked veggies, beans, and ground meat. The Cheesy Cauliflower bake is just pureed cauliflower and ground turkey with a cheese sauce. The ricotta bake is ricotta, marinera and mozzarella cheese. The recipes are on the website I linked.

Thank you very much

Had an egg (most of an egg) for dinner. Went down easy. No pain and no illness. Woohoo!! Hoping I have a stomach of steel. Not that I plan to abuse it, just don't want to get sick easily!!

i am so jealous! I had surgery 4 days after you and im not even allowed purees for another 5 days! enjoy!
