What are some of the best foods, to start with, as I begin my mushies? What foods to try with caution? And foods to stay away from..

Also, if I'm tryin a new food, how long after I take the first bite, should I wait to see if my body rejects it-- before I take another bite.

Any advice or suggestions please

My doctor suggested cottage cheese, yogurt, cream of wheat, creamy soups, tuna w/lilght mayo, mosist fish... in other words soft wet food. For some strange reason I was able to eat pretzels 4 wks post op. I chewed them real well though. If I ate something that was not working I knew IMMEDITELY, it just would feel funny going down. I really never had any vomiting issues but the first 4-6 weeks if I did not chew my food really-really well I would get the "foamies" where I would spit up foamy syliva for hours and be totally uncomfortable. Once I chewed my food 50+ times then I was OK. It was the worst to go thru that, the foamies would last any where from a hour to 12 hours (my worst case). That is the way my body was telling me to chew my food more.

I did soups blended,mashed potatoes,light yogurt, cream of wheat, activia light, apple sause, sugar free pudding and jello, fat free cool whip, your taste and appetite will be different to though so just try one new thing at a time eat slowly and don't stress. For me if it isn't gonna work I know instantly it's such a weird feeling. I'm nearly 4 months post op and I can't do any seafood or chicken but I can eat steak. Everythings trial and error so be patient and take it one day at a time. Good luck
