What mushy foods worked for you?

I ate alot of cottage cheese and apple sauce. Mashed potatoes would be fine too, although to many carbs for once your all healed and on solid food. Yougurt would be good. Refried Beans are another idea. Hope this helps.

Thanks, any opinion on scrambled eggs?

i ate alot of Soups, cream of potato and Tomato Soup. i still love Soup. cottage cheese and mashed potatoes are good too. if you eat scrambled eggs, make sure they are not too done and add cheese to them to make them softer.

We buy the big bags of costco meatballs, thaw a couple,

put them in a blender with sauce and cheese, blend and

enjoy. There is a recipe for potato Soup in the food section

using dried potato flakes, dried onion and garlic that's

fast and easy. You're only limited by imagination.

Wow, thanks

I did a lot of ricotta with sauce and melted mozzarella - basically pasta-less lasagna, refried Beans with melted cheese, turkey chili, scrambled eggs with cheese, and chicken salad.< /p>

TracieR is the chicken salad home made or store bought? Does ground turkey go down better than ground beef?

[TracieR 88]

I make the chicken salad myself with low fat mayo. Store bought has way too many calories for me! If I make chili I usually use turkey just less fat. I do buy the small chili from Wendy's sometimes for lunch at work and it goes down fine. Both seem to go down fine for me but everyone is different!

I am on soft foods STILL (surgery was Sept. 12th). I eat cream of wheat, cottage cheese, greek yogurt, mashed sweet potatoes, chili, egg salad, chicken salad, sugar free pudding, Soup, refried Beans, lunchmeat, mini babybel cheese are my snack of choice, little cups of diced peaches in their own juice, that's all I can think of now. Now that I am almost 6 weeks out I am pretty much eating 'normal' food as long as it is soft or I can chew it until it is practically liquid. I am still going with the dr.s guidelines with no fried foods, low carb, and low fat. Good luck!
