Mushy Stage

[F Mike 7]

Is tuna and canned chicken okay during the mushies stage with ritz crackers if I chew well?

[Ric 89]

Sure if you blend them!!

Those both trend to be quite dry going down... Blend them for sure

No crackers they are not a mushie. I mixed canned chicken with laughing cow low fat cheese. A lot less fat/cals than mayo and you can heat it in the microwave.

I put tuna with cottage cheese. I never blended anything. I ate yogurt, Jello, fruit cups, canned green Beans, tilapia and eggs. I told my Dr I wasn't blending meat and he was ok

With the above.

crackers were not on my mushies/real soft foods. try and stick with the tuna/chicken (very shredded/pureed) with ff mayo just to be on the safe side. also refried Beans w/ff shredded melted cheese is also very filling....if in question, always refer to your surgeon or the nurses (i called mine when i had questions like this)

Check with your doctor instructions. Whole wheat crackers were on my mushie stage. I waited until near the end to try them though. I LOVED LF refried Beans and cheese!
