I'm traveling . What can I eat other than mash potatoes and Beans . Can I try seafood yet?

cottage/ricotta cheese.. scrambled eggs..oatmeal.. you could try eating fish after falking it..

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!

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.

I had a meatball from sbarro when we went to the mall this weekend and it was delicious. I was so excited that i found something to eat!

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.

I meant I ate eggs not that I hate them. That's been the best for me
