Louise I'm the same. Start purée on Friday. Can't flipping wait! What are you going to try first?

Same. No problems with liquids or thick protein drinks. I'm so sick of the creamy/milky taste of everything at the moment that I think I may try something like hummus or even purée up a tuna sandwich spread or something like that. I'll have a look in the shops and see what looks good. I never thought I'd be this excited to eat mush!! I'd really like something hot so maybe a ready made meat soup puréed up.

I'm only 7 weeks post op and when I moved to puree I discovered this amazing chicken, mushroom and rice soup at M&S and a Moroccan chicken and chickpea one - they both blend really well and taste like actual meals and are high in protein. Also found fisherman's pie really good and yummy.
Had my check up this morning and am allowed to move towards solid foods now but I'm too much of a wimp, can't handle the thought of vomiting as I really struggled from liquids to puree and puree to soft and have only just stopped being sick after 6 weeks!
Good luck

It's amazing how much the whole process varies. I wasn't allowed liquids or to get out of bed until the day after surgery. Then in the morning I was given water, once they could see I was keeping that down I had a yoghurt at lunch time and for tea. Day 3 today it was yoghurt for breakfast, cheese spread on Melba toast, then apple puree for snack and melba toast again for dinner, finally if I can manage it a yoghurt for my last snack. The dietician here says a will tolerate more foods ager on if I eat exactly what they way now, so I'm doing as I'm told and it is work so far.
Same with mine hun... two weeks liquid. Cant wait for Saturday to try a bit of puree something...lol...bit scared to move on to this stage though because that means more calories and I seem to be losing the weight a bit slow already... Im addicted to the scales and not seeing the results I expected...x

Eeeeck sorry typo central in my last message
Wow that's great that your allowed to do that already it makes sense what they're saying. I was told by my surgeon that the liquid stage was essential to give the stomach time to heal. It's not bothered me at all upto now so hoping the purée stage will be as easy ? xx
