I all! I will be entering the soft food stage in a few days and I was wondering what foods worked for you and what you found to be challenging at this phase. Any and all advice welcome!

My go to has been mozerella sticks, pinto Beans, turkey lunch meat (rolled up) and (baked) chicken. For me the chicken needs to be very tender or it doesn't sit well. I still can't tolerate pork. I just had some carne asada today (first time, small portion) it was delicious!

Hello there! My soft food go to foods were: cottage cheese, sf pudding, refired Beans w/cheese and salsa, steamed cauliflower with parm. cheese, string cheese, and my favorite of all was a small chili from Wendys! I could only eat about 1/4 of it but it was sooooo good!!

I liked cream of wheat with a little bit of fake butter and honey

I love tacos, deli ham and Turkey with plain cream cheese, yogurt, pudding, and fruit cups.

Taco meat with salsa and fatfree sour cream. Greek yogurt, my wife makes a killer chicken cacciatore with the Purdue trim and fit style chicken, she puts everything in a crock pot around 8am lets it cook for about 8hrs to the point where you the meat just falls off the bone. Baked flounder or tilapia was good too

Hummus!! Greek yogurt, cheese, Turkey lunch meat.

Thanks everyone! I just started on soft food and I'm thrilled to not have to eat out of the blender any more! I had a scrambled egg and it was heavenly!

After 4 long weeks of liquids, I dream t of my first soft meal. Refried Beans with a dollup of sour cream, taco sauce and a pinch of cheddar cheese. It was like a steak and lobster dinner. All I had dreamed and more. For the following 4 weeks I ate alot of canned chili (with melted cheese), cottage cheese, yogurt, canned chicken and tuna with mayo, eggs, refried beans, tilapia, and canned fruit/veggies, avocado. Basically the only things I couldn't have were tough meats (white meat chicken{not canned}, pork, red meat, fresh veggies/fruit, bread products, nuts, seeds. Most things r considered soft or semi soft (oh, and no Jerky allowed! lol. Guess thats probly self explanatory).

I'm sure ur happy to be moving onto the soft phase. The 1st 4 weeks were like an eternity for me. Thought it would never end. Good luck to u and have fun with the advanced diet...
