My doctor's instructions doesn't really address when I can have ground meats. It does mention that some patients experience discomfort with ground beef, and that pork should be avoided for about three months.

I was thinking of making hummus with ground lamb (a Lebanese dish) during my soft foods phase. Are ground meats okay during that phase or should I wait longer?

I was allowed ground meats during the later portion of my soft foods phase, but you really should ask either your surgeon or nutritionist.

Yummmm

I love this dish ????????????

I ate that on my soft food phase week 4 and had no problem at all ????

I was ok with ground meat during my soft food stage.

my doctors plan only allowed fish during soft foods - BUT, I dunna like fish. wish I did, but I do not. so they had me very gingerly try scrambled eggs and ground meat. we usually use ground sirloin combined with ground turkey, and I did not have any problems with any of those items. I am really thankful to have a team and NUT who are willing to work with different food issues to find a good plan for each individual patient.
