Week 3 and 4 food options

[Darcyred 16]

I'm 3 weeks post op, and on soft solid foods. I've been trying hard to follow the recommended food options, but need to branch out. Any suggestions? My post surgery booklet says I can eat soft baked fish now, but tuna doesn't come into play until week 5. Anyone know why that is? I would think tuna is a soft solid? Getting burnt out on Soups, mashed potatoes, and eggs. Recommendations appreciated!

tuna can be dry and hard process early on. Same with salmon and crab. A soft baked fish would be baked swai, cod, tilapia. You want to bake a white fish so it is soft and moist. I ate swai most of the time. It is affordable at Walmart.

Below is a recipe for it.

@@Darcyred I can have tuna on soft food stage. Try cottage cheese, sugar free pudding, hummus, refried Beans / Beans (add a little cheese and sour cream), ricotta bake (recipe online), ground chicken (or hamburg). Just try a tiny amount first to make sure it doesn't make you sick.

There's a recipe section on the forum too.

Good luck

I was told to eat soft boiled eggs I don't even know what that is. I was told that scrambled eggs wasn't wet enough so I take one egg and 1 tablespoon of cottage cheese the small curds. And scramble it. One of my favorite things to eat besides Soup I have not ate any potatoes I know we're allowed them but it's a carb I just can't do it. I had my surgery April 20th. Yesterday I made a killer chili with a different kind of Beans all dried that I had to make myself and I used chorizo soy for the meat. Everyone loved it. It would be really good and eggs also. I do not eat seafood of any kind. We can also have thin deli meats. I have made homemade cauliflower Soup onion,soup Tomato Soup, and cabbage soup but I love soup only homemade soup.

My program allows tuna during soft food stage (starting week 3) however, I have tried it twice now and just 2 bites made me severely nauseous both times. Tilapia has given me no problems....but everybody is different. (I LOVE me a soft or medium boiled egg by the way)
