Hi everyone I am at a complete lost of what I should be eating at this stage of the process. I am focused on gettting my water in. What are some of the things I can eat three weeks out? I am on the High Protein Pureed stage. The first two weeks I had mostly broth and jello. What else ? Thanks

My doctor told me that I can eat fish during the pureed food stage and that Idon't need to puree it. I would stick to the type of fish that flacks easily. I personally salmon, talapia and trout. I just recently strated eating fish and I found that if you don't over cook it, it will taste delicous. I was also told that I can have tuna with a little low-fat mayo. (Just no bread.) By now I would think you are doing much better.

At three weeks out I was on soft proteins, no fish, no chicken- as they are too dry to swallow. Cottage cheese, string cheese, split pea soup(no meat), eggs. I will email you the toolkit provided to me. Hope it helps. I really survived on protein shakes and sf popscicles. Lots of water.

Okay, correction here: Week 2 a soft-boiled or scrambled egg (be sure not to overcook it - you don't want it dry) · refried beans (low-fat) · lentil or split pea soup (no ham or vegetables in the soup) · low or non-fat cottage cheese · low-fat, light yogurt (get the blended kind, without big pieces of fruit in it) · ALWAYS drink 64oz of water per day · (Here's a hint: in most cases, the yogurt is the easiest to tolerate.) Week 3 You may have the following foods at this time: · Thinly sliced deli meats such as turkey, chicken, ham · Low fat string cheese, Skim ricotta cheese, feta · Soft fish - not dry or overcooked · Canned chicken and tuna (you may mix it up with a bit of plain yogurt, mustard or low fat mayonnaise) · Boiled shrimp (try a little ****tail sauce but be careful of taking too much because the sugar in it might make you dump - see "Dumping Syndrome") · Pan-seared scallops (lime or lemon juice is okay) · Real or imitation lobster and crab (no real butter, but try imitation flakes, i.e. Molly McButter) · Egg salad (use plain yogurt, mustard or lowfat mayonnaise, or even salsa - the finely pureed kind) · Tofu · Low fat hot-dog (no bun) · Well cooked beans and legumes I didn't have alot of these things until later and still not now. You have to see what you can handle, everyone is different. I still cannot handle some chicken and fish.
