Not soft, mashed foods, but pureed. I'm wondering when you all started on them. I started on day 8 (yesterday) first just applesauce in addition to my liquids and thinned strained soups.

My team has a conservative plan - liquids for four weeks, then purees, and no high carb foods like applesauce -- on purees, we are only allowed high protein foods. All of our plans are so different!

I didn't have a puréed phase. I started soft foods on week three.

We start puree on day 8 too.

Strict doctor here, not till day 21 can I begin the pureed phase.

Purees from day 15 for me.

I had 2 weeks on liquids post op, then 2 weeks runny purees, then 2 weeks soft/mushy, then gradual progression onto solids.

I was adding stock and yoghurt or sauce to my savoury purees. They had to roll off the spoon easily.

To Breakfast purees I was adding runny yoghurt and soft fruit like bit of banana or papaya. I was stewing pears at that stage. Plus I was adding Protein powder to all purees, had an unflavoured high Protein Powder.

Still use it in the mornings with my regular yoghurt and grated 1/4 apple, these days.

3 weeks of liquid and start introducing soft foods. 14 days left of the liquid, not that I'm counting....

After 4 weeks of clear liquids, weeks 2-4 including protein shakes, puree started at week 5, soft foods at week 7, finally start adding regular foods at week 9.

Purees and other soft type proteins (eggs, yogurt, etc.) in the hospital and beyond for the first month. I ignored the pureed lettuce (ewwww..) they served there.

Day 1-3 clear liquids

Day 4-14 full liquid

Day 15-28 soft foods

Day 29+ full diet as tolerated

I hate to ask this. But I'm starting my puree stage this week. Is Peanut Butter a no no? I think i saw someone talking about it a while ago, i don't remember where i saw people chatting about it. Im just asking because it's soft and 8g of Protein for 2tbsp. But the texture is sticky. Im just trying to get the hang of this. Im still learning to make good choices. Haven't eaten any just wondering for the future if anyone has experience. If it's a good option or not

I'm guessing peanut butter is a bit too thick yet. Tempting because the protein count is good...

I would think yogurt is closer to the texture advised, but each doc is so different .

I never tried it during puree stage, or even now.

I was told by my dietician that the purees have to be runny enough to roll off the spoon.

Perhaps if you mixed it with runny yoghurt and blasted it in the NutriBullet, it could possibly work.

However, a good Protein powder added to Chobani yoghurt will give you about 35g for 1/2 cup serve.

I did use peanut butter but by adding to shakes. I have since switched to PB2 which is in a powder form but 80% less calories. It still flavors the shakes but better for calorie intake.

I never had a problem with peanut butter (creamy, of course,) early on and sometimes had some on a couple of saltine crackers (which are basically liquid by the time they hit your stomach) but my program didn't distinguish between "full" liquids, purees or soft protein foods. Where PB would fall within your doctor's spectrum of phases could be anybody's guess, so best to check with the doc if it isn't spelled out in your guidebook.
