wildrose1966 396 Posted November 29, 2012 Anything you can put in a blender. tuna salad, chicken salad, chilli, be careful of mashed potatoes, they are yummy and easy to get down, but not what you really need to be eating. I got a rotissaire chicken put it in the bullet with a bit of broth and yummo. (especially after 4 weeks of liquids) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FLORIDAYS 3,040 Posted November 29, 2012 My Dr said anything that can be chewed to a puree form is acceptable. However you need to be careful you dont swallow something before its pureed.... so like wildrose said... use a blender. I ate alot of tuna, cottage cheese, applesauce, Soup, carrots mashed and hummus. Lots of people like yogurt and Beans as well. You can do navy beans in a crock pot and cook them down for a few days... lots of good Protein. . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thank [/quote'] Lasagna filling! I cooked frozen spinach with a dop of Water and puréed it. Then I layered ff ricotta cheese, spinach, Tomato sauce, sprinkle of Parmesan. I sprinkled nutmeg on top of the ricotta layer. Nuke that baby and enjoy! After preop and liquid phases it is SO GOOD!

LaLu 37 Posted December 4, 2012 I put everything in the blender - even bacon and eggs for Breakfast. It sounds horrible but it actually tastes completely normal, there was no difference. And I ate it with a baby-spoon and bowl to make sure I was super slow and ready for it. Literally anything that my family was having to eat - I would put in the blender and eat it as well But of course - be careful and EAT SLOW and tiny bites (use a babyspoon if you need help) Make it into mush in your mouth even though it's already blended Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stuffystephie 1 Posted December 13, 2012 A good substitute for mashed potatoes is steamed cauliflower. Get it really super soft and thrn mash it up and add some milk or sour cream for a bit of a consistency adjustment and whatever seasonings you like...it will taste just like mashed potatoes and you would never know it was actually cauliflower and way healthier for you.

Rojasanoll 920 Posted December 13, 2012 I stuck all my steamed vegtables in my blender added chicken Soup to it and it was yummy 3 times a week. Then I did the same with blended beef and beef soup. As long as its not chucky you should be able to have it. Just watch the carbs and calories in what you put in the blender. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hely88 883 Posted December 15, 2012 This is a serious question and not a dig at anyone. Is it really good to blend all your foods for mushy? My dr had me eat things like chunk light tuna, canned chicken, Beans. I never was told to blend anything excpet for Soups when I was on liquids. If you blend isnt it doing most the work you are supposed to be teaching your teeth to chew? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you blend isnt it doing most the work you are supposed to be teaching your teeth to chew? That is the soft food stage where you teach your teeth. The mushy stage is blended foods. This stage doesn't last too long for most of us but it is the gradual between full liquids and soft food phase. Clear liquid Full liquid Mushy Soft Regular In that order. Did you maybe miss that stage or forget that you did it? Everyone's dr is different so maybe you didn't have that one. My mushy stage only lasted 8 days.

hely88 883 Posted December 15, 2012 I did mushy foods but not puréed. Like I said I ate tuna, chicken, Beans things like that. I was told to let my teeth purée. I did not miss a stage that is just silly. I guess our doctors just have different views. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A New New Dawn 1,695 Posted December 15, 2012 During my mushy stage, my doctor had me puree my food too so I took what my family was having for dinner and put it in blender w/ some sort of liquid (salsa, broth, etc). The only thing they didn't have me puree during this time was cottage cheese or scrambled eggs. My doctor also has me do this after a fill. (liquids day 1, mushy day 2). Enjoy being able to eat. It may look less than delicish coming out of blender but it usually tastes good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
