That does sound challenging, Valerie. If you like soups, have you thought about using an immersible blender after the soup is cooked? That way the veggies are pureed. Just a thought. I also drink vegetable juice (V-8). Have you used a juicer?
One resource that many people (and doctors) don't often use is a consultation with a registered dietitian. These folks are great in helping with eating plans for those of us with complicated health issues. I consulted with a registered dietitian after my second digestive tract surgery and then again after a pre-diabetes diagnosis, and it was very helpful.
Can you ask your doctor for a referral to a registered dietitian at your local hospital?
