Today I had eggs and canned corn beef. Yesterday I had soft meatloaf and mashed potatoes and some peas. I mushed it all together. Are these ok for the mushie stage? I chew really well and haven't any problems with it so far, but I'm concerned that I went a little too far with trying to consider things to be mushy. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated......

the rule is eat your Proteins first then your vegetables and then your starches/carbohydrates. Don't mix anything together.

Start off with your meats, if you're full stop. Puree your meats.

Continue on to vegetables, if you're full stop.

Finally move on to carbs, when you're full stop.

You should actually never get to the carb stage if you balance your plate out with enough Protein. Sure, when you reach your goal you may get there but since you're just starting the puree stage stick with the hydrated meats and vegetables.

Don't drink while you eat. Drink 20 min after a meal. and don't drink 30 min before your next meal. :thumbup:
