SpaceDust 585 Posted May 13, 2013 I take it you're on soft foods at this point? Did your NUT or your surgeon give you guidance on what constitutes soft foods? If so, you should follow their directions, of course. At soft food stage for me, I can have moist, flaky white fish, no shellfish. I can also have ground meats, especially chicken or turkey. Basically, if it can be mashed with a fork and it's moist and easy to digest I can probably have it, so soft-cooked veggies and fruits would be okay, bananas, the usual things like cottage cheese, yogurt, refined hot cereals like Cream of Wheat. Poached or soft-boiled eggs are good, and lightly scrambled (i.e., so they are still moist). No fried stuff, no solid hunks of meat, no raw fruits (except bananas). No unrefined whole grain stuff. I hope that helps! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kulita 243 Posted May 13, 2013 At 3 weeks I am on pureed foods... Spacedust gave you some very good advice. Anything soft and super moist will be your best friend in this stage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

naturally_bad77 26 Posted May 14, 2013 Thanks guys! I have done the banana, strawberries, and 5 sips of wine. I hate eggs. I got some tuna but scared to try it. I also got some hummus but not sure if I can do the pretzel chips to go with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
naturally_bad77 26 Posted May 14, 2013 I meant I ate eggs not that I hate them. That's been the best for me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
