I don't think I received pureed foods at the hospital. They gave me soup that I could sometimes eat, acidic juices that I couldn't drink, cream of wheat that was too thick to swallow. It seemed like it was just a general soft diet with no thought given to the fact that my tongue was tethered to the base of my mouth and covered with sores. I ended up mostly just drinking ensure and sneaking in lattes.
