I need help - there is so much conflicting information and I really don't know what I should be eating each day. I've had my fourth fill now so can't eat tough meats or bread easily but other than that things seem ok.

i also have a problem though in that I have a serious underbite and find chewing a lot is hard (my dentist is suggesting jaw surgery to correct it so that I can use my teeth more fully to chew properly). But in the meantime I need to find a way to eat regularly food that doesn't require as much heavy chewing and that will fulfill my nutritional needs

Does anyone have any ideas?

Cottage cheese, canned tuna, fresh salmon, greek yogurt, chicken breast in the food processor - all of these items are low carb, big on Protein and easy to chew.

Thank you for the advice Christine :thumbdown: I will keep that in mind for today's shopping!

Early on....In between mushies and solids, I ate a lot of poached fish. Like Tilapia..... I diced up some onion and zuccini and sauteed it for a second. Poured in some Swanson's seasoned chicken broth, brought to a boil and placed my fish in and covered. Cook for about 4 or 5 minutes. It's soft, tasty, high in protein, includes your veggies and moist. It's also QUICK. I loved it and still eat it. Try not to over cook a steak. The more you cook it and dry it out, the harder it is to chew the tough meat. I now eat my steak medium rare and have no more problem with it. I can't eat chicken breast. To dry and tough. I have switched to dark meat (thighs mostly) and seem to do MUCH better. A little BBQ sauce will help keep it moist as well. You may have to change how you cook things. For example...... Pork roast is difficult for me unless I smother it in applesauce.... But pulled pork cooked in a crock pot all day, is much easier. I just had to readjust my way of cooking and evaluating things. A slow cooked pot roast is better as well.

Boil up some eggs and mix up an egg salad with FF mayo. If you find it bland, add some salt free seasoning or dill weed.
