Fruit and veggies are BAD next choices...too much fiber in them.

It's best to follow your doctor's advice and take reintroductions very slowly.

When you need to move on to the next stage, the next foods are cream of wheat or oat meal thinned with skim milk or almond milk, sugar free pudding, creamed soups with the chunks strained out, or yogurt.

Are you tolerating the protein drinks, are you able to drink well without pain or nausea? You have to be able to do both before introducing anything new.

Just my 2 cents, but I doubt you could consume so much of anything pureed to cause problems - but if you are determined to try - only do half a teaspoon of something super blended - no seeds or skins or strings in some thinned soup. Maybe split pea soup blended and thinned down with bone broth Could try half teaspoon of a baked sweet potato, or butternut squash soup.

Everyones plan is different and everyones tolerance is different too.

SF chocolate pudding made me want to barf, I may never eat it again! Cream of asparagus blended was sooo much better. Just go really really slow, half teaspoon and wait 5 minutes.

Everyone gets sick of the stages and it seems to take forever and a day to get through them, but it does go faster and get better after the first 2 weeks. Just make sure to get the protein and liquids in, watch your skin for signs of dehydration - really wrinkled on top of the hand when you pinch the skin and not peeing much, darker pee. It is so hard to then take enough liquid in to get caught up. I found the whey protein drinks terribly constipating and that I had to drink a lot of liquids to make up for that. Hang in there.
