Meal plans for week 3 post op ideas?

[mystiq 9]

I'm having trouble with planning meals. Everything I eat is so bland. Does anyone have any recommendations for meals or recipes for week 3?

Which stage are you on week three for most people is different.

My Stage 2/week 3(and maybe 4) is cream of Wheat, mashed potatoes made with 1% milk and added cheese for Protein, Tomato Soup, V8 juice, the Protein shakes and chicken broth. Maybe some Protein pudding s well. Not quite restaurant fare just yet, but not Jello either!!

The doctor never said I was in a particular stage. Just that I'm on week 3. I can have Clear Liquids, full liquids, fish, mashed potatoes, soft cheeses, crackers, eggs, and canned fruit and vegetables. I just don't know about seasonings and spices I can use for the fish or mashed potatoes.

You seem more advanced then I was but here are some soft/pureed suggestions:

Ricotta cheese mixed with some mozzarella cheese and then Tomato Basil Pesto sauce

Refried Beans with some cheese and taco sauce

pureed homemade chicken noodle Soup

tuna with chipotle mayo

pureed chicken with BWW Garlic Parm sauce

Honestly I pureed everything. Hotdish/Casserole, Chili... etc. Anything I had for dinner with my family was pureed and then I took out my 2 tbsp and put the rest of the puree in the fridge for another meal.
