TerryBelieves 352 Posted February 26, 2013 I couldn't do cream of wheat...I did blend a lot of things. but my favorite is taco bell refried Beans and cheese with mild sauce ....they sell it by the can at Wal Mart and I bought the taco bell resterant sauce. and added 2% cheese. yummy. I also liked the small curd low fat cottage cheese with a little black pepper on it. Mashed avocado was a change. I blended up tortilla Soup OMG it was divine. Good luck. I got to start soft foods yesterday. Its so nice to chew chew chew. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tiffy0485 123 Posted February 26, 2013 I am on stage 4 and I am 15 days out. It is weird because I can eat regular foods now besides veggies and grains of course. My first 3 days were Clear Liquids. Stage 2 was up to 7 days at full liquids. Stage 3 soft/ purée foods at 1-2 weeks. Stage 4, solid proteins.. I can't handle a lot.. Best food for me is snow or king crab. My belly loves that! Lol.

ShawnaB 11 Posted February 27, 2013 it's so funny how each doctor is different. I was sleeved 2/11 and I have to do full liquids until 3 weeks before I start puréed. Is it sad I'm counting down the days to cream of wheat/malt o meal? lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
missjegga 12 Posted February 27, 2013 I know it's so weird to see when people start certain stages all so different I couldn't wait until I ate purée I was counting down the days too when I was doing clear liquids and now that I am there I still am mostly getting liquids in lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Susie1226 138 Posted February 27, 2013 I have to wait one week from surgery well actually from when I was discharged to move up in foods. I'm on clear liquids until Thursday then I can add eggs, refried Beans, etc. I'm starting to get actual hunger here bc Jello, broth, and Popsicles aren't cutting it anymore.
