Hi guys!

I wanted to get a general idea of what everyone is at calorie wise for the mushy/purée stage. Right now I'm only really eating tuna and eggs, so if you have any ideas to help bring variety I would greatly appreciate that too!

you can eat deli meats like turkey and chicken breast, low sodium ham, american and munster cheese. Mashed potatoes, soup, pudding, yogurt, ricotta, cottage cheese.

On my post-op plan pureed and mushies are not the same thing. But, I am on pureed right now and can eat refried Beans with some cheese and sour cream, egg salad, chicken salad, yogurt, ricotta, cottage cheese, pudding, Soups that are pureed, etc.

I didnt think we could eat straight cheese yet, like a slice of cheese (I am a cheese freak). But, I have put some on my beans and melted it.

I am a cheese freak myself! Lol i have longed for a cube of medium cheddar cheese since the day i started my preop diet two weeks ago. I was told by someone on here that cheese was a yes on pureed stage but i chicken out and melted it on my refried beans today and oh my the refried beans were delicious a lil sc and valentina salsa added and some cheese mmmm. I did really well with it and had no problems.
