Hi!

I am going on 1 week of "soft foods" and was wondering if you could let me know what foods you ate during this phase. All ideas are welcome. Some on the list from my doctor are:

ground beef

ground turkey

cheese

cold cuts

eggs

Soup

Thanks!

Mashed potatoes (what a treat that was after the liquid diet!);

Poached salmon;

Soup and all of the things I'd been eating on my liquid diet (cottage cheese, FF/SF Jello pudding, etc.);

Soft cheeses (a bit too fattening. . but at least finally there was something for me to nibble on at cocktail parties!)

That's all I can remember at the moment. I'm a little surprised that your doctor has ground beef on there -- I know that some have a hard time getting it down.

Best wishes,

Catherine

Melliecat,

I don't know if it's just different terms- I'm on pureed diet until week 5 but it sounds like similar food, but you're allowed more solids.

I'm eating:

Soup

eggs

Tuna(chopped fine)

yogurt

cheese(had a string cheese last night - so good)

cottage cheese

ricotta cheese & marinara(yum)

cream of wheat

Hope you're doing well!

Im 3 wks post op.. and im on lean meats (ground meats, poultry and fish) cooked veggies (carrots, green beans), and pretty much everything mentioned above... Ive been eating ALOT of tuna and chicken salad.. My doctor also added crackers and toast to my mushie diet..
