Honestly, I didn't want to get back on solid foods for a while, but all I ate was vegetable broth, cottage cheese with almond or orange flavoring (like vanilla), jello, pudding, soft eggs and cheese, protein shakes. as i progressed into more solid foods, i experiemented with mashed potatoes, yogurts, harder eggs, bean soups, lentils, etc. i am not a vegetarian, but i don't eat much meat, so i ate pretty lacto-ovo. anything you would regularly eat, and can puree or something....what about a polenta with feta melted in? a little garlic powder and pepper makes it pretty tasty. good luck with finding a wide enough variety for yourself!

Taco Bell refried beans.  Heaven at your stage and no animal products like lard!

Wow!  I was eating those TB refried beans at 3 weeks.  Of course, one little container made 4 meals at that time.  You might be able to do some interesting juices at home with various fruits, veggies, protein powder, soy/rice/almond milks.  What about scrambled tofu?

I can understand not eating the whole fruit or veggie from the standpoint of the bulk/fiber.  You would get full so fast, they are probably concerned about getting adequate nutrition.  But I can't imagine that they would object to juicing the veggies or even blending or pureeing them to death and then straining out the fibrous part.  You definitely need some variety!

i agree. i would love variety right now. all i am allowed is protein,protein,protein. i am allowed lettuce only next week. Whoo! i can only eat it after the protein is consumed though. i need a vegetarian godmother to guige me and give me variety.
