    Hey everyone thanks for watching this very "different" video!! I showed this to my internship classmates this morning and they all laughed at how big the bites I took were. I started laughing because I had never thought of that, and after 11.5 years as a pro eater, haha they were all normal bites for me!! I look forward to reading feedback from those who watch it!! Happy Halloween weekend!!

    Hey Randy as a nurse I'm glad someone who can appreciate how food tastes is getting involved in dietary needs for people with dysphagia. I've had many dementia patients starve themselves after they were started on a puree diet. If you can make eating pureed food more enjoyable it would help us medical professionals out.

    As someone that has struggled with eoe and food getting stuck, this video was super cool to see! I don't know why I never considered pureed food beyond the nastiness in the baby food aisles 🥴 I've been doing better with food in general since my last dilation but I'll definitely check into some of these options!

    So many times I had to feed Nursing home residents the same plate of pureed brown meat with gravy. Pureed English peas and mashed potatoes. Pudding. I can't imagine having to eat that day in and day out! Some Nursing homes did much better I will add! We went by Nectar and Honey thickness. I recognized the coffee thickness immediately. Also thank you for throwing the "old terminology " in there too! You really are amazing at what you do! I would LOVE to see more content like this!

    I worked in Rehab and it's great to see the old system changing for nectar, honey, thickened liquids and food. Many patients use to say they where tired of the same dinners and foods everday. And good to see that the thickened powder won't have to be used a lot. Its time for changes for patients feeding and care.

    Thank you for this information. Things I wish I knew more about during the final year taking care of my mother. I should have had an emersion blender.....instead of just trying to smash it up. I never knew about such a blender at that time. And I was also blessed with a wonderful nurse during the last time I let my mother stay in a rehab hospital before taking her home for good. I told him she wants a strawberry milkshake. (she was not allowed that thickness of food at the time) But he said, go ahead and bring her one. Though the other nurses in the next shift had a fit about it when they saw it, he told me later he felt in that in her last months if she wanted to taste something and was finally showing some interest in eating something.....go for it! Thanks for teaching us. I am going to show this to my daughter. She would do well to have this info just in case. LOL (I am getting up there)

    Reminds me of the food they ate in the first Matrix film. Breakfast of champions. I also watched a video where patients were given these jelly pods to remain hydrated.

    This is like my daily diet.. I have Crohn's disease and am only allowed baby food and pureed foods that have been strained.. I puree everything from lasagna to canned carrots and everything in between.. it's actually not that bad.. I have been doing it since 2002 no choice in the matter.. I can't even have minced

    Good job - be good to see you make these foods - how the average person at home can make this for their hard-of-swallowing loved one.
