Soft foods

[bigperm 16]

Do you think the broccoli and cauliflower veggies tots are suitable for soft food stage? Cooked in the air fryer to a soft golden delicious morsel of goodness I'm asking for a friend.

Broccoli and cauliflower are pretty tough to eat early on no matter what you do with them. Especially if it becomes a "golden" morsel. Everyone has a different experience but I certainly would not advise it. What does their NUT say?

NO! First of all, it's not a soft food. Second, I very much doubt the GI tract could handle that gassy roughage that soon after surgyer.

Agree with rte837. The Fiber, even if you purée, could be a problem.

They can try one and see how it goes. As long as it is mushy it might work. (The tough stem is a no-go, but the tender top might be ok).

Starchy Beans are also full of fiber but they squish down nice and smooth, so they usually work well.

Soft foods are generally stuff you can mash with a fork

No they are not considered soft foods just because they may be soft when you eat them! Too much roughage for your new pouch! They were listed on my regular solid food stage.

I've never heard of broccoli or cauliflower tots. Where can I get these?. I'm craving tater tot's. I'm on a regular diet now.

I could have cooked veggies after a week and I often had broccoli. No problems. I could eat maybe one floret, so it's really not that much roughage. I'd cook them and they be pretty soft. My program went from liquids for a week to the ability to eat soft foods after one week (eggs, tuna, tofu, cooked veg, etc). My team encouraged cooked veg.
