July 11, 201313 yr Give me some ideas of what you ate during your soft food stage. I can start my soft foods on Saturday and can't wait!
July 12, 201313 yr I think the first thing I ate was refried Beans with a bit of cheese on top. Also tuna salad and chicken salad. Oh and turkey meatloaf. Are you going straight into softs and no purée?
July 12, 201313 yr chicken, turkey deli meat and tuna salad mostly. Laura-ven - some plans transition you right to soft solids after 2 weeks. When I went to my NUT and she was explaining the soft solid phase to me I asked about puree. She told me that they use to have a puree stage, but found that a lot of patients were skipping that and just chewed their food really well and did not have any problems so they just go straight to soft solids now.
July 12, 201313 yr Lucky girl! All I know, is that I was so hungry for food when I hit the purée stage I didn't mind blending. I ate mushy chicken with glee
July 12, 201313 yr Author They want my soft food to be very soft.... Mushy...Tina, eggs etc were suggested. I am not drinking chicken!
July 12, 201313 yr I just started softs this week. So far I've had yogurt, egg, refried beans and tofu.
July 12, 201313 yr Straight from liquids to soft foods here, and I'll be transitioning this weekend as well. Basically, my requirements are that I be able to mash it with a fork, that it's not too fibrous, and no bread, no white Pasta, no seeds. Two weeks of that and then I'm ready for regular food. So far I seem to be the sleeve of steel type, too. I'm not sure if that's good or bad! Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 using VST
July 12, 201313 yr I went fron liquids to soft foods..some chicken..chewing till it was mush..I'm with you on no drinking chicken for sure+!
July 15, 201313 yr I'm in the soft/puréed stage so I guess that means I don't have to purée stuff all the time? I have not been getting nearly enough calories in so I had some soft scrambled eggs with cheese! OMG it was heaven and went down easy! I think things are starting to look up now that I got my reflux meds switched! I will be 3 weeks out on tues. maybe I'm just healing as well!
July 15, 201313 yr What the hell puréed could possibly taste good? It might not look appetizing, but everything tastes just as good as the unpureed version. My first meals were deviled eggs, applesauce, tuna salad, chicken thighs, and bananas. I dreamed about the deviled eggs.

July 15, 201313 yr I just made tuna with light miracle whip and relish! YUM I'm on soft foods so I didn't purée the tuna, just smashed it up really well! Has anyone else did this on the soft stage?
July 15, 201313 yr PaNailGirl- Yes, I ate a lot of tuna & salmon made that way...still do! Seafood goes down the best for me!
July 15, 201313 yr At first it kinda of felt stuck, but then I made sure I chewed 30 times and that was much better!! I just don't want to purée it! I just puréed some fresh cooked carrots, but tuna? I just can't do it! Haha
