Puréed

Nov 01, 2014

Today I transition to the puréed stage. Started the day off with a protein shake. I went food shopping for the first time in a while. Walked out spending less than I ever spent at the grocery store. Picked up some soups, cheese and eggs. For lunch I had my first taste of real food. I scrambled some eggs and added a little cheese. Then into the nutribullet it went along with some salsa. Once combined and puréed it netted about 4 oz of food. The first bite was heaven. I started slowly eating the concoction and about half way through my 4 oz I started getting a little pressure in my chest. I listened and stopped eating. About two hours later I was able to finish the eggs. I also had an afternoon shake. I used unsweetened almond/coconut milk and two scoops of the Chike coffee Shake.  I am excited to be progressing through the stages with no tolerance issues. Once thing I can say is that I used to love V8 juice. I had a cup of the reduced salt juice and it tasted sooooo sweet. I am finding that after the surgery, my sense of sweet drinks has been enhanced. Two weeks of puréed and then I graduate to mechanically processed for a few weeks as tolerated.
