October 23, 201213 yr look for anything high protein for sure. I love greek yogurt, mini baby bel lights, string cheese, chili, and almonds
October 23, 201213 yr Hummus...with carrots and ceelery once you can eat em...until then, rice crackers...(I am gluten free...)
October 23, 201213 yr Check out theworldaccordingtoeggface she posts many gourmet recipes for mushy meals and regular. I have made a few and all taste great. I look forward to getting out of the mushy phase to use more of her recipes.
October 23, 201213 yr I'm almost 4mnths out. I live Oikos Greek yogurt and string cheese for snacks. Minute maid has a several flavors of that are only 15cals/8oz serving. They're great when you're tired of plain water.
October 24, 201213 yr FISH! Fish is soft and easy to digest and Tilapia which is cheap and the highest in Protein at over 20g and I could eat more of that then normal meats even now. Because I can buy in prewrapped individual portions, It is my go to meal when my family is having something I can't. I just make up a Tilapia fillet with veggies and I have a good healthy meal. At 2 months I was given the go ahead to eat anything healthy with a few exceptions. I also liked eating shrimp cocktail for the same reason, it is eaten cold and so was easy to eat for lunches at work or as a replacement meal for family dinner time when needed. I handled the cocktail sauce with no issues btw just make sure low enough in sugar and it is all good there. For a snack or Breakfast I found medium to soft boiled eggs are good as well, I found hard boiled to be a bit dry and would coat my throat which was nasty since I could not drink to wash out my mouth and it seemed to go down harder. Scrambled eggs are not my favorite now whereas I used to like them, but I can eat them sometimes just not on my top of the list. I also like those Mini babybell light for a quick snack as well as mozerella cheese sticks. At two months I went and got almonds, just chew well and yummy and satisfied your crunch need. Just eat one serving size which is like 29 nuts or something. I buy those snack bags and portion everything out so I just have to grab and go. Same with the pepperoni snack bites and other crackers like the special K crackers or Gerber chewable crackers which fill a need just not the protein. Honestly I think I started trying all kinds of things at 2 months and have not had issues with much. So slowly just start trying anything healthy that your doctor approves and give it a shot. If you react badly then avoid it for awhile and try it again in a couple months, since what bothers us changes later. Good Luck
October 24, 201213 yr I eat more large scallops myself-softer than fish, and I buy 3 large ones at the seafood counter in the grocery store. Less expensive than Starbucks, and excellent protein. I don't share em...lol!

October 25, 201213 yr Thanks slowtogo am going to try scallops tomorrow. One ? How u prepare thems ? I eat scallops 2 or 3 times out of the week. There are several ways to makes it, (1) just little oil, salt and pepper. (2) same as 1 add lemon or white wine and (3) same as 1 can use Mrs dash or lemon pepper. Just place in pan on med high heat about 1 min on each side. If it gets rubbery, u have cooked it too long. Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk
