I think the problem with bread and rice is not so much that they enlarge but they can clump together and form a big ball, White rice tends to do this more than long grain varieties.
I also think that these problems tend to occur more as you get more restriction but I could be wrong.
I was told things needed to be able to go through a straw for my initial 2 week liquids stage , not for mushies.
Just shows how much the recommendations differ fron Dr to Dr |
Sorry Elcee, that's exactly what I meant as well just that I could think of the words to put it into a proper sentence (had a blonde moment, no offense to blondes either lol)
As for mushies, I think as long as the consistency isn't like gulping down something really thick like a thickshake it's okay. For the first like week of my mushie foods it was pretty blended down, added water, stock, soup to whatever I had to think it out, then when it was like the week mark afterwards I made them a little thicker consistency.
Also another thing to have charli - soups. Pumpkin soup thinned out or not thinned out depending on what stage you're on is awesome!
