Well im 12 days post op and im on phase 3 semisolid pureed. Any suggestions how to get through the veggies as the pureed veggies make me gag even when I do it myself. I can do everything else but veggies. Im not much of a veggie person to begin with.

At 12 days post op, my dietitian told me that I should push protein and not worry about fruits and veggies at this time. She told me that after my 8 week visit with her we would discuss where to go from here.

I would make soups, and add baby food veggies to them to fortify them. I also drank a ton of egg drop soup.

I was told fruits or veggies with my protein so I am sure you have your choice of one or the other...

My nutritionist also said that protein is the most important right now and that fruits and vegetables would come in time.

I am 29 days post surgery and just got to pureed a few days ago. My nutritionist and surgeon also said that protein first. I can't eat much more than that.
