if you are from the South, grits... I like applesauce but am unable to eat ground beef... red meats are a no-no for me... when I am having trouble with everything else, though, I can go back to my Protein shakes.. trusty shakes.. you actually get to where you WANT them! lol

I am boiling together some carrots, parsnips, onion and swede for next week. Lentils with onion, any type of Beans cook nice and soft with things like garlic, onion. Rice pudding. I am still trying to get my menu in order since I am excited and scared to try anything besides liquids...LOL.

Get a good food processor and you can mush up anything you're already serving to your family.

I was missing my spicy foods, so blending a Wendy's chili was like heaven for me at that stage. A small will probably get you atleast 2 meals.

When in the "mushie" stage, I kept to unprocessed foods, and pureed everything in the blender. Basics for me were:

Scrambled eggs, homemade turkey salad, chicken salad, tuna salad.

​Cantaloupe, strawberries, blueberries, sweet potatoes, cooked carrots, baby food peaches and pears, and applesauce, all with no sugar added.

I added the fruit to FF SF yogurt. I also was tracking my daily Protein intake carefully, and had usually 2 shakes made with 1% milk daily. I also mixed the fruit with 2% low fat cottage cheese for variety.

I was cautioned to avoid any beef or pork until at least 6 months post op; I have read of far too many "stuck" episodes that happened with beef. I have yet to return to eating either of these meats.

Congratulations on reaching this stage! I remember that after a month on liquids, anything to eat seemed like a banquet, even if it was all pureed...
