Contact your team and ask for their advice urgently x

Hi, I would definitely do as @FeeBee says and contact your team. What happens with liquids? Are they ok? Have you tried puréed foods before soft foods? How did you get on with that? It might just take you longer to move onto soft foods and you might need to take a step back to purée for a week - check with your team and see what they say. Where did you have your surgery? Was it in the U.K.? Hopefully you have a contact number for your team.

Oh dear, I'm glad you contacted your team.

I guess you'll just have to take things really slowly. Good luck x

Sorry you are in pain. I really struggled with fish in sauce and anything chicken, and had thought it would be a good option for soft. I also extended my puree stage to new foods until i knew I could cope with them as puree. Listen to your body, we all heal at different rates.
