What foods are allowed on your blended food diet? I might be able to help but I have noticed not all doctors have the same protocol so if you can give me an idea of what is allowed, I might be able to help.

Most people get bored with post-surgery diet, but it is important to follow your care-team guidelines. It is worth the limitations to gain long term results.

If you have a nutritionist that worked with you pre-surgery, they may have some suggestions.

You may want to check out this discussion on Mayo Connect on soft foods that @cmss posted last year.

Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC) has examples and ideas for recipes for post-surgery;
Your surgeon / nutritionist may have different limitations and time frame then UPMC.

You will need to verify ingredients in recipes are allowed in list of foods you are allowed to eat.

If in doubt, check with your care team.
