As John said alot of things can go into the blender..at the extreme and when he was getting bored with tha same old stuff etc Bob even had pizza in the blender...put extra sauce and pizza in the blender and made a sort of pizza soup it was pretty good actually...seriously oatmeal, yogurt. and pastas or veggies cooked very soft with cream sauces, smoothies, eggs with hollandaise sauce, rice with butter and milk all where regular menu items for quite a while and most things did have to be pureed a bit in the blender regardless of how soft i thought they were. From what i have read here the PEG seems to be a lifesaver for most so and it was hard to get Bob to eat sometimes. If I knew what I know now I probably would have pushed Bob harder to get one.
In regard to using the morphine be aware that one of the side effects can be constipation. It can be really bad and uncomfortable. Bob took Senecot I believe there are other alternatives and prescritions ....there is more info somewhere here about it that you may want to look up.
