moving on to soft food tomorrow - help

jennyflower · January 29, 2011

Hello

I finally get to move on to the next stage now - it week 3 so that means that i can progress from liquids to soft foods.

I'm a bit scared that i will put weight on. Can you pls help me by giving me some meal ideas.

For example what type of vegetables can i have with my main meals??? and is there anything i should stay off?

Also would corned beef be classed as soft food?

i would be really grateful for your advise, tips and meal ideas. Thank you!

I will be starting soft foods tomorrow, too. I was told any canned meat is soft enough for this stage. Also most fish is soft enough to eat now. Fibrous veggies like salads, celery, green Beans, etc. are still no-nos. Carrots are ok if cooked well, as are peas. Most Beans are good, too. I found a recipe for fish cakes made with white beans instead of potatoes and I'm going to make that tomorrow for my first "real" meal. I'm so sick of soft, yucky mush and my teeth are dying to chew. It's been at the point yesterday and today that I don't even want to eat because none of the mushies even look appetizing to me. Just the thought of eating anything mushy makes me want to puke.

Right now my son is making a venison stew for my husband for dinner tonight. I'm glad I don't like venison or I'd be jonesing to have some as well. I told my husband I was going to pick up a pint of wonton Soup and chop the wontons up into tiny pieces and he said "no - you're not supposed to eat real food until tomorrow". I don't understand what difference 12 hours makes, since I'll be trying an egg for Breakfast tomorrow.
