Soft Mechanical Diet

I am almost three weeks post op and I should have started my mechanical soft diet but I have no idea what it is and what I can have any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!!!! Thanks Jocelyne

Hi Jocelyne, I love your name I think this is referring to pureed foods. Some people eat baby food at this stage and some use a blender. Soft foods like yogurt (great source of protein bu****ch the sugar content) cottage cheese, sf puddings, soup. Mashed potatoes, cream of wheat, plain oatmeal. I also ate green beans, chewed really well. Good luck hon, it is a period of trial and error from here on out. Remember to chew everything really well. Watch sugar content, and be sure to sip water all day long to stay hydrated. God's Blessings, Barb
