Congratulations Jodie! I was allowed scrambled egg, tuna, chicken, soft fish, cottage cheese, ricotta cheese and refried Beans for Protein, plus mashed potato or sweet potato ( no fat), mashed butternut squash, The only other vegetables had to be canned - peas or carrots pureed. fruit was applesauce, mashed banana, mashed canned fruit. Believe me scrambled egg and thin mashed potatoes never tasted so good! Good luck.

Eat what is on your plan. Each one is different. The steps/phases are different and what is permitted in each is different. It also depends on how long each of your steps last. Some on here are on liquids for weeks while others, like me, spent only 1 week. Some have a puree phase, some don't.

The two previous posts are both correct. I only had two weeks on pureed food, so I would caution you not to plan too much, you will still not be eating much. For me, egg salad, tuna salad, scrambled egg (1 egg), Greek Yogurt (1/2 a container) were my main choices. I was only allowed 1 Tablespoon per meal of a fruit, vegetable or starch. I stuck with applesauce, it was just easier. I went through two small one serving cups in the two weeks! Amazing how little our bodies truly need to function!

I did 2 weeks on pureed and I ate egg beaters as i couldn't handle regular scrambled eggs,cottage cheese,greek yogurt, tuna fish. Stay simple as your stomach is healing and cannot tolerate much during this phase as I figured out the hard way.

I agree with the above statements listen to your doctor and trust me although your food choices changes you still can not eat a lot, 1 cup of applesauce lasted me a week. your stomach is so small and I agree make sure you watch what you eat and remember to chew t least 30 times i learned the hard way as well one day i chewed my chicken so well I had no problems , today I ate the same chicken and didnt chew a piece well enough and I experience pain, leading me to puke sorry TMI but once that happened I felt better , it was just a reminder to chew chew and chew. good luck.
