Not sure if your program allows beans...but vegetarian refried Beans (lower in fat) with red enchilada sauce and cheese melted in. My fave soft food stage meal! Also Soups were great...I tolerated split pea and broccoli cheese well.

Congrats! I know you’re excited. I’m a couple days from stage 3 and I’m soooo looking forward to it! I’m ready to chew again. I’m also interested in what recipes everyone has to share 😁

[GreenTealael 25,336]

Ricotta bake. Everyone seems to have a variation of this during this stage. I also had white or pink Beans cooked very tender.

Enjoy the new food phase!

Yes. Just brown butter ( tiny amount) canned pumpkin and savory spices cooked until hot and pumpkin is dried out a little. Eat like mashed potatoes.

Different but it might turn out to be tasty and something we'll make more than once. Appreciate every recipe or hint given on here.

I just eat Soups and mashed potato with tuna in this stage

Cottage cheese

tuna (I like to get the flavored packets)

Broccoli tots

Chili

Those have been some of my personal favorites which I was able to add back into my diet.

Congrats on reaching this point! It's so exciting!

What kids of Soups? Store bought?

[chuckwalsh 122]

I found what worked for others didnt usually work for me.. exact food item wise.. figure out what you can live with and start with that. You should have a list from your surgeon.. I think that's basic material we all got.

I was advised to start off with egg beaters (basically egg whites in disguise) vs. whole eggs because they are easier to digest.
