Need help with Stage 2 foods



Recommended Posts

I am starting the stage 2 diet today (mushy). I wanted to know what types of fish that I am allowed to eat? Is Salmon one of them?

Also can someone give me an idea of the types of things to put on my shopping list for stage 2. I do have my list from the doctor but it's not really specific on the types of things that you can eat and it has only a few examples of menus.

Thanks for your advice.

Really, almost any fish should be fine. I eat a fair amount of salmon and have from the day I was told I could have fish. Also, we like flounder and tilapia at my house.

I am in week 5, and am enjoying getting back to "regular" food. One of my favorites was cooked vegetables, like 1/2 cup Broccoli or peas, 1-2 oz of tuna (or other canned fish/chicken/meat/tofu), and about 1 tbls light mayo (salt and pepper to taste). Quick and easy microwave dish at work. You can Google Tuna and Broccoli recipes and make a decent baked dish as well. Although I normally like "crisp" vegi's, during the mushy stage I cooked them down, diced them very small, and the resulting mixture after the microwave, was very soft indeed.

The only fish the wife will buy for me is Tilapia, granted its the only fish she likes so I guess thats what I'm stuck with.

I would also add any Soup you like and just blend the crap out of it.

I also have a fondess for Applesauce.

This week, still week 3, I'm just started Lunchables.

As I currently eat it, seems to be going down good so far.

Thank you so much for your ideas. I did pick up a few things yesterday. Last night I had broiled flounder which tasted so good since I haven't had any real food for a month now.

My doc said, whatever my family eats, just blend it and make it a little more sloppier which I did, saved me heaps because I didn't have to go buy just for me, but in saying that I had alot of mashed pumpkin with gravy - Also one word of advice - Don't blend chicken, it tastes chalky lol

Turkey burger patties. Jennie-O 93/7 fat. Fry your patty in a pan. Use Pam cooking spray on the pan first. These burgers are very soft. and boil the heck out of some veggies, green Beans.. cauliflower..broccoli..whatever you like! make it super soft. Melt some mozz cheese on the patty.. Good Protein--low calorie meal.

PS: Isn't my dog the cutest!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
