I am 2-1/2 weeks post-op. At my one week follow-up doctor said I can have anything that can go through a funnel - he ok'ed hummus and oatmeal.

So since then here is what I have tried:

Tomato Soup

butternut squash soup

hummus

farina

oatmeal

spinach dip (the one you put in the bread bowl)

guacamole

refried Beans

pea soup (had some very soft carrots and ham but I chewed it really well)

chocolate covered halva (had to have something sweet but through the rest away after a taste!)

cheese chewed to mush

a few goldfish crackers chewed to mush

mashed potatoes

polenta

veggie pate

I have to say that some of these items won't go through a funnel but are they still ok?

Once I got to "mushies", my surgeon said anything that you run through the blender first. I just blended whatever I'd fixed for the family.

I was a bad patient. I figured if I chewed something up enough it would qualify as "mushie" and it worked for me, lol
