Jules 88,

I haven’t had this type of surgery, so o don’t have much to offer, but it’s good that you’re planning ahead with what if days.

I have trouble chewing and swallowing, and have no teeth! I was in the nursing home as of this morning, but fell this morning! I ate the puréed diet and was fantastic! I ate like I member ate before and put on two pounds of the 10 I lost, i have to find out how they prelate it.

At home myself, I used all kinds of liquids to purée depending what I was cooking. I’ve used water, chicken or beef broth, coconut milk, regular milk, and Soy milk, and maybe others I can’t while on pain meds for surgery tomorrow for my hip. Not exactly cancer related, but it does have an effect from lifestyle to medications!

Good luck with your surgery!
