what did you eat while you were on Mechanical soft phase? I start on Monday and have no clue

Mechanical soft according to my plan is anything I can cut with a plastic fork. My education guide has a really detailed list of what is or isn't allowed if you are interested I can email it to you? I look it at about 3 or 4 times a week to double check what I should and shouldn't be eating.

I would love a copy please.

PM me your email!!!

My understanding is if you can get a fork through it.... Canned fish/chicken. Turkey meatball or meatloaf. No solid beef or pork

I did turkey chili caned salmon and soups at this stage. Hope that helps.

Ariella,

I PMed you my email address, thank you so much!! My current Bariatric program is worthless, so I appreciate the help

I got some canned crab meat and added some fat free cream cheese and a little salt to it. Can't eat a whole lot of it just yet, but it sure is yummy, and I made sure I mashed it up really good. I may be pushing things, as I am two days away from going from the full liquids to a pureed diet, but I haven't had any problems so far with runny cheese grits and cream of wheat, so I decided to try this as well...at least it has more Protein than grits!

Hard boiled eggs, chicken, tuna, with some fat free mayo ran through a food processor til smooth. Mustard if you like. Spice to taste and tolerance.

Refried Beans (fat free) with some salsa. I have heard but not tried people using plain greek yogurt with this.

Cream of wheat

Grits

Soft scrambled eggs. (Soft meaning done but not cooked til browned.)

Plain yogurt, with a spoon of sugar free jelly for flavor.

Small Curd Cottage cheese

Ricotta cheese.

Mashed wite of sweet potatoes

Light Soups (with the solid stuff blended)

Strained baby foods(never tried this, but it is frequently recommended)

The above list should give you enough variety to last awhile
