NEED IDEAS

Okay, im so sick of this liquid stage ...Thursday I move to the soft food stage, things like tuna fish, chicken salad..Anyways, I need ideas of things I can eat during this stage....?????? My thoughts were: tuna fish chicken salad refried beans mashed potatoes any other ideas?????? I can't even think.........Are those above good ideas???? Can you tell I'm so excited about soft foods@@@@@@!!!!!!! Thanks in advance! Vanessa

those are all good - i really enjoyed scrambled egg and also egg salad with a little lite mayo. you can boost the protein in your scrambled egg up - add 1/4 scoop of unflavored protein powder and a splash of milk to keep it from getting too cakey... also 1 tbsp of cottege cheese in there is good.

There are so many things you can have at this stage - I'm just about at the end of it but I've had - Custard, salmon, shrimp, yogurt, sf pudding w/protein powder, egg salad, cottage cheese, soft cheese, hummus, fruit, smoothies - I make mine with Unjury protein powder and a frozen banana chunk.

Forgot to add applesauce, and tell you I did not do well at all with mashed potatoes! Be very careful mine got stuck and hurt like hell for a while! It hurt so bad I don't think I'll ever look at them the same again, and I certainly have no desire to try eating them again! Since they are all carbs I don't think it will hurt me not to eat them!

Hi Vanessa, The first thing I tried after the awful liquid stage was a scrambled egg with some cheddar cheese. It was the best thing I'd ever eaten!! My Dr. says we can have chili (turkey chili is my favorite) during the soft stage, and Gerber Graduate meals are PERFECT. They are low in calories/fat/sugar and are already cut into tiny bites and are easily digested. Those have gotten me by for 2 weeks now! My 2 fav's are the Turkey breast/mashed potatoes and the chicken breast/mashed potatoes. They come with vegetables too. I wish you the best of luck on your weight loss journey! Wendi

Vanessa , i really liked egg salad or a soft boiled egg on toast .. usually didnt eat much of the toast string cheese is ok also i mixed some crock pot chicken (so its very tender ) in with my refried beans and cheese a lil taco sauce and a splooge of light sour cream yummy !!!!! i did the same with ground beef last night but i was bad all i had eaten since breakfast was a protien drink and a pudding so when i went to eat it i was starving and ate too fast next thing ya know first time and im almost 5 weeks out so not too bad but i did not like that feeling one bit !!!!!! good luck Missy

Don't forget the SF peanut butter!! Also, if you puree chicken or turkey you could try that. I was told that I could try anything I wanted as long as it was the consistency of applesauce. Christina S
