Hi all...Diet after surgery is an interesting dilemma. I found that almost everything could go thru the blender. I had fish, hearty soups, asparagus, sweet potates and almost anything...blended, add a bit of water..and you can eat almost anything . My plate looked funny, like colorful mush, but sure tasted good. I moved up to Tuna fish. Just a few bites. But it was wonderful. I lost 13 pounds in 5 weeks..but now its back. I eat normal for the most part now. Swallowing was a big issue, and sometimes only ate few small bites, but gradually things got better.
