I have been on liquids a little over 5 weeks now and I am excited to say I am 6 days away from soft foods. While I am still 6 days away from moving up to soft foods I am already planning my first meal. I was wondering if anyone has good ideas for me?

I'm 8 days post-op and tomorrow I will be having watery soft mashed potatoes for Xmas dinner. I wonder if that's not okay.? I'm on the yogurt, jello, strained watered down soups stage.... And will be on that until jan. 20th....

I just want a bite to steak to chew on. Not swallow, just chew on. I can't have mushies for a while.

Well I have chewed up watermelon,a piece of chicken, peanut butter cookie, and bread and spit it out. Just to get the taste and chewing sensation. And have had no problem.....

I am already on watered down mashed potatoes. I use chick broth to soften it. As much as I like potatoes even that is starting to get old.

seriously, does that mean no milk or teeny piece of butter? better to make a whole fresh potato or potatoe buds? Does it matter? If you do use the chicken broth is that instead of Water, does it taste ok, or just "ok"

why r u guys watering down the mashed potatos? as long as its soft, isnt it ok? lol. i had some today

Per my surgeon's orders, I'm on mushies until February 2nd, my next appointment. A sample menu for me is a poached egg for breakfast with a bit of pureed ham, a double protein drink (50 gms. protein), and a 1/4 c. cottage cheese for supper. I've also had three Vienna sausages, or a 1/4 c. of refried beans with a few cheese shreds on top. So far, so good.

I can't wait to eat my first soft food. I am not hungry or really craving, I am just sick of liquids. I should be able to go on soft foods Monday. Yippee, I can't wait.
