Well, I am 3 weeks out tomorrow. I was on a liquid diet for 1 extra week due to some pain with swallowing. After being SCARED TO DEATH to try anything semisolid, I did it!!!! I just tried Cream of Wheat. It's amazing to me how different it felt than my liquids. I was able to get 4-5 small bites in before becoming full. How odd thi seems..... What was your first mushie? I have two weeks of mushies ahead of me. I plan on a lot of refried beans, yogurt, egg salad, tuna salad...What else were your favorite mushies?

When you find out let me know! Lol. On my 2weeks post surgery follow up (last Thursday) I was given the ok to pureed diet. It went down ok but now I'm stuck on what I should eat! ::sighs::

At 3 weeks out, I started with eggs…all kinds of eggs – scramble, over medium, hard boiled eggs. I eat a lot of tuna salad with and without eggs, egg salad, crab salad (I like to make devil eggs and stuff them with the crab salad), cottage cheese with a little bit of pineapple juice, , Re-fried Beans with salsa and Greek yogurt. I can also eat seafood as long as it’s not fried.

I just started but I've made chicken salad, tuna salad, deli meat with cheese, cottage cheese, baby bel light cheeses, eggs don't have as much protein as the tuna and chicken, but they are so yummy. Also, tilapia is really good because it is really soft and flaky.

meggspeggs-

sounds like you are doing so much better! and how fun and nice to be eating! my favorite foods are all listed above plus i liked mashed potatoes. So happy for you!

I also love eggs, tuna salad, chicken salad (I used rotisserie chicken from Costco rather than canned chicken), and loads of 2% cheese!!
