I got to eat out at restaurants my whole recovery time and one made an awesome tomato bisque. Another had great clam chowder. Just had to be careful not to get any of the clams in there. Did they say you could have cream of wheat? Had that every morning for breakfast. Have you tried Greek Yogurt? It is amazingly smooth and thick.

Couple ideas. I am still sick from the pudding. Had to mix all my crushed pills into it. Just thinking about it makes me want to puke.

Here's a little hint: Try different brands of cottage cheese! My pouch is a grouchy pouchy and will  not tolerate any cottage cheese but the pink container of crystal brand(formerly known as foster farms).  Malt-o-meal hot cereal as well as cream of wheat are excellent as they havesome vitamins in them already..you "CAN" mix some protein powder in with it but I didnt like the taste.  I would focus more on liquids ...find one to 3 things  you can stand to eat until you're on full puree - - remember that full liquids are different than mushies and semi-solids.  

Personally, I think you should focus more on "i need to get in my liquid" instead of "what all can I eat" ..you can have a total variety of every kind of food you're allowed but in actuality - you're gonna take 2 bites and be full - not really worth the worrying - at least it wasnt in my book.
