Freezing kefir—now that’s clever. I never thought to try that, but I might’ve actually enjoyed the tang. Totally agree about the drool disaster, too.

First time I tried to sip soup, half of it just dribbled down my chin onto my hoodie.
That was me with smoothies...and somehow it always happened when someone else was in the room.

I also lived on pureed soups, but honestly, after week two, even the smell of chicken broth made me want to run. It’s wild how much you start craving something crunchy, even if you know you can’t have it yet.

Totally relate to the smoothie incident—every time I thought I had a handle on it, gravity had other ideas. It’s like your mouth just forgets how to function for a while. And yeah, after days of pureed stuff, I started fantasizing about potato chips…or even just a carrot stick. I tried to get creative and blend random things, but let’s just say not everything should be liquefied. Did anyone else get weirdly obsessed with food commercials, or was that just me?

Haha, I get that, but honestly, I didn’t mind the pureed food as much as I thought I would. Maybe I’m weird, but experimenting with soups and savory smoothies kept things interesting for me. I actually avoided food commercials on purpose—felt like torture. Never got into the food fantasy thing, I just focused on making the best out of what I could actually eat.
