I'm in the soft foods stage and I have no idea what to do with the canned meats besides adding some mayo. I can also eat canned or very mushy vegetables. I'm thinking soups, but I'd appreciate any other ideas.

i like making bbq chicken with canned chicken just add bbq sauce and warm it up a little. im also looking for canned tuna or chicken recipes im trying to eat soft food right now since i just got a fill and my band seems to be too tight right now =/

I add a wedge of light babybel swiss, it's only 35 calories a wedge and so good with both tuna and chicken

For canned chicken, I added some queso cheese and salsa, and heated it up.

I use canned chicken with a little light mayo and wasa crackers. It's also good on wheat tortillas pizza style. Tuna with light mayo and hard boiled egg whites is good too.

I mix canned chicken with sour cream, mayo and green onions, Yummy. Or chicken, rotel & shredded queso cheese, microwave....delicious! When you get past the soft stage, throw it on a flour shell and brown it. Or tuna, peas mixed together, sprinkle some parmesean cheese on top, microwave for less than a minute. I hope these help.

Add mushed avacado!

I like tuna with mayo, chopped egg and shredded sheese.

You can put it on a cracker or wheat thin, or eat it with a fork.

..i really did enjoy mashed potatoes with meat juices added to the broth i was having. i just made it thicker as i got better. i also added cauliflower, pumpkin... they were thoroughly pureed. somtimes i added a little lite sour cream....yummmm.. also added mild salsa for more flavour.... garlic powder.

Mix with laughing cow low fat cheese.

I added mayo and relish and put them on club crackers. My dr said club crackers were ok in mushy stage because when you chew club crackers they become purred in your mouth, but you have to chew them properly

Also, I liked to make a baked potato, add fat free cheese and sour cream and eat the mushy potato... You could add chicken t o that

I am not banded yet, but have thought ALOT about the different stages. I am one for flavor, so I would add celery seed, garlic powder and maybe just a touch of dry mustard to the tuna with the mayo and hard boiled egg. I have never used the canned chicken, glad to see some great ideas.

Oh I also use light ranch or blue cheese dressing instead of mayo sometimes.

A great recipe is to the chicken a dry packet of Italian dressing, cream cheese and a can of cream mushroom soup. I put in crockpot and of course you can use lower fat versions of soup and cream cheese so not as much calories.

Fat free cottage cheese with tuna and Good Seasons Italian dressing packet (start with 1 tbsp). I like to mix it up and put in microwave for about 1 minute or so. You could also add some shredded cheese and serve with crackers. It's like a tuna melt.
