Anyone have any ideas for food in this stage, I'm drawing a blank. Thanks.

Hi, Had my surgery on Feb 10 so about a week after you. I have been blending some low fat clam chowder, crackers with crab salad (crab and mayo), melba toast with a variety of stuff on it from turnip to tuna salad. The cracker just breaks up the monotony of liquid items. I also tried some fish with a tbsp. of mashed potato and veg. Felt like the first real meal I had in month. Luckily your soft food stage starts on Monday. Good luck
We made turkey soup: turkey, broth, a little stock, with carrots, celery, rutabaga, and onion. Pureed the heck out of that and boy, was it yummy! I also did a simple chili and pureed that. Both of those, along with applesauce, yogourt and soups with melted cheese on top helped me get through that stage about a week or two ago. Good luck!

did anyone feel like they were going to gain weight once they started eating? I have been eating tuna/cracker snack packs, canned chicken chunks with a tsp of may, and melba toast, boiled eggs,a nd last night i took a piece of bologna while making my kids lunch. I have had no problems, but it seems i have gained weight this morning! honestly i don't want to eat again!
