stage 2 semi-soft solids....any ideas?

besides scrambled eggs, cottage cheese and mashed potatoes? I would love to try something different...but my brain is like mush and I cant' think of anything.... thanks!!!!

oatmeal, strained cream soups,mashed sweet potato sugar free puddings and jello, watch the mashed potaoes because of the carbs. pureed meats ,vegetas unsweeetened pureed fruits. hope some of this helps. Jan

You can also use the creamy soups that come in the hand held containers. The Campbell's soup at hand. They have creamy chicken, creamy tomato, creamy potato, and a bunch of other stuff. Also, you might want to ask of you can take a vegetable soup, like the vegetable beef and run it through a blender. I am having the same questions as my stage 2 is only but a few days away. Ohhh, there is also something called Kefir. It is a yogurt smootie. I drank it before I had my surgery. I looked at the ingredients and you should be able to drink that too. The possibilities are endless. Don't think about it to hard and just remember, you have a blender. I am sure mine will come in very handy. Don't forget sugar free applesauce too!!

yes do you know what kerfir is? i use it for a fat free sub for cream soups. i make it myself you take cottage cheese and put it in a cheese cloth and hang it over like the faucet on your kit sink. and leave it over night and let all the liquid drain out of of it and then blend it and let more liquid drain out and will thicken soups and such in place of like half and half. lol .....new lesson of the day.

Barb looks like they already gave ya a good start on what else. I've also had some veggie soup that my wife made and I mashed up the lil veggies, that was filling also and tomatoe soup, stuffis like that. On some of the sugar free puddings I've added sugar free cool whip, that kind of gives it an added taste. I also added a spoonful or two of sugar free cool whip to my protein shakes to kind of add a different flavor and texture. Good Luck. Andrew

thanks everyone...it helps to have some new ideas. It is incredibly hard right now having to have a special meal for myself while the rest of the family eats. Plus it makes it hard to think of something I can eat that sounds good to me too. I will definately try some of your ideas. Thanks so much!

how long ago did you have the surgery?

I baked me a turkey yesterday and put the broth in a bowl to chill and scraped off the grease and froze in small containers, I guess we can have this when on clear liquids, if its a no-no someone tell me...lol, I baged my turkey in small portions and froze for later...I am trying to be prepared....gonna do a chicken later the same way.... God bless...vesta

Vesta, I think that the stuff that comes off of a baked turkey and chicken may have lots of fat, even when frozen and scraped. But you are on the right track, you might try boiling chickens with some celery, carrots, onion, and drinking the broth for the liquid stuff, pureeing the chicken, and making chicken soup. It is so good for you! If I am wrong about the dripping after baking, someone let me know. I used to love how rich they were in gravy. ~Diana~

I just advanced to stage 3 YAY! I would save the scrambeled eggs to try AFTER you have tried some other things. I had trouble with the eggs and it seems like lots of people do. I do better with an over-easy egg than scrambeled. Campbells Tomato soup in the cup was easy for me. I tried some of the others and tolerated this the best. Also, cream of wheat, thinned, was easy to process. Sugar Free oatmeal (I liked the Maple Brown Sugar best), other soups put in the blender. Thats about all I can come up with. Angie
