What could you tolerate?

The first "meat" I tried was tuna with just a bit of light mayo and then some baked cod my first week (I started soft foods Day Three while sill in the hospital).  The second week I added some moist buffalo chicken pieces and deli meat (although some types of deli meat, especially ham, tasted VERY salty). I also tolerated Wendy's chili pretty early, but don't remember exactly when.  Sometime in the first month.  I saved other kinds of beef and pork for a while because it was just entirely too much work to chew it down to mush!

Tilapia, blended chili, shaved turkey (it's almost half-chewed by the deli slicer lol), minced chicken that I made sure to chew. Turkey burgers would be okay for me if I would just remember that they're in my freezer.
