Next week I will start with mushy foods. What do you recommend as a first attempt? I am very anxious about what will work best.
Foods eaten in the mushy stage should be the consistency of mashed potatoes, cottage cheese, and scrambled eggs.
Good choices from each of the food groups include:
Protein
- Scrambled eggs and poached eggs
- Fat free or lowfat cottage cheese
- Fat free or lowfat ricotta cheese
- Lowfat cheese
- Egg salad made with lowfat mayonnaise or plain yogurt
- Canned tuna, salmon, or chicken mixed with lowfat mayonnaise or plain yogurt
- Tofu
- Fat free or lowfat refried beans
- Pureed beef, poultry, pork or fish (blend when dry and add broth to desired consistency)
Fruits and Vegetables
- Applesauce
- Mashed bananas
- Pureed fruit
- Stage 1 baby food fruits and vegetables
- Cooked and mashed vegetables
Starches/Grains/Cereals
- Cream of wheat
- Mashed potatoes
- Hummus
Fats and Oils (use sparingly)
- Lowfat mayonnaise
- Lowfat salad dressing
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Canola Oil
- Guacamole
You can also eat/drink and food from the clear liquid or full liquid list. See more details
