Stage 3/week 3 post op diet

[soccrmom23 31]

So my packet states everything should be pureed but i've talked to others and as long as everything moist and chewed thoroughly I should muster through this stage. I've cooked 90% lean gr beef in unsalted beef broth first, mostly drained then added sloppy joe sauce which is not that awful in the calorie/sodium intake. Believe it or not low fat cottage cheese has more sodium. I also made canned chicken salad (in its own water) and mixed with health heart brand low fat mayo. Beef and the canned chicken were in packet. My new stomach aka STAN (yes i've named him) tolerated the beef but i could only eat a few small spoonfuls and as instructed chewed the hell out of it before swallowing--very difficult to get used to but necessary. Also, no drinking during, 30 min b4 or after. Truly I felt full/pressure after what I ate and wanted no part of drinking. Also if you don't pour a drink for meal, its not there - no temptation. Things are moist no need to wash down. My friend also suggested cooking chicken in low fat/sodium cream of chicken Soup. I thought this was a great idea .

Any one else have recipies or ideas for week 3???? please share
