What are all the foods and food ideas for the mushie stage? Thanks, I will be taking notes

Just some ideas that are posted in my post surgery guide. Hope it helps. Good Luck!

LOW CARB ‐ LOW FAT‐ LOW SUGAR ‐ HIGH PROTEIN!

• Soft foods are comprised of: things that are easily chewed and will mush up

in your mouth easily. For example:

• Scrambled or soft cooked eggs

• Cottage cheese

• Cottage Cheese w/pureed fruit ( containers of 4 oz that you can mix into the

cottage cheese)

• Refried Beans

• Tuna, salmon, chicken, or egg salad mixed well with low‐fat mayo

• Chicken leg or thigh meat

• Soft cooked veggies

• mac n cheese

• Whole wheat grains‐ pasta/rice

• meats that are cooked to really soft consistency‐ crock pot, pressure cooker

• soft cooked or stewed fruits

• oatmeal, cream of wheat, grits

• moist meatloaf, turkey loaf

• Soups that have easy to chew veggies n meats

Be careful to really puree your food at first, and make sure it's moist. Tuna was rough on me when I pureed it in the magic bullet. I pulled out the food processor after that.

One of the moistest things and best thing I had was rotisserie chicken. It blended better than canned chicken or home made chicken and it was a lot more moist. I know that there are others like me that had a rough time with food. Everything seemed and sometimes does seem to get stuck from the esophagus into stomach mark. I still can only get about 2 ounces of anything in at a time and I'm 8 weeks. Sometimes I still puree food because it definitely goes in easier, with less pain afterwards.

Best of luck to you.
