I am in the second stage of post op and getting tired of cream of wheat. What are some of your favorite meal recipes.

I have lots of ideas!!! What stage exactly are you in? Soft solids? Or does your doctor make you do purée? I was on anything I wanted 2 weeks out, but I have a few suggestions for all stages.

My husband made me pureed chicken lunch meat from the deli with mayo and mustard and it tasted like a sandwich.

If you like coconut cream pie, I use non fat Greek yogurt (6-8oz), sugar free instant vanilla pudding mix (1tbs), 1 scoop Protein powder, some coconut extract, unsweetened almond milk to get it the consistency that you can eat, and a small amount of toasted coconut on the top. I'm 3 weeks out so I'm still eating this because it is very low sugar, high Protein, and tastes great. Be careful with the toasted coconut and make sure that your doctor will allow it. Toasted coconut breaks down when you chew it, but shredded coconut doesn't! This mixture lasts me 4-5 meals.
