Question aboutTuna with Bread
My mushy food phase included
tuna salad (without onions, pickles, etc... just a little bit of mayo or greek yogurt to moisten it).
soft baked fish
cottage cheese
ricotta cheese
greek yogurt (plain, unsweetened, non-fruit flavors)
cream of wheat (I skipped b/c carbs)
refried beans/other mashed beans
mashed potatoes (again, I skipped)
soft scrambled eggs
cheese (except cream cheese)
milk
protein powder/drinks/shakes
SF/FF pudding
SF jello
broth
SF popsicles
anything NOT on the list is OUT. Seriously, this early out, follow your plan to the letter!

Skip the bread or cracker or any of the carby options. You can make low carb baked "cheese crisps" for dipping or some crunch and avoid all the other crap and expanding bread and crackers take up in the sleeve.
Tuna, chicken, egg salad for me was completely eaten by itself for the first few months. Then, once I was cleared for veggies, I started using lettuce (bib or butter) to wrap food in. Great for vitamin/nutrient consumption and no to super low carb option.

You can actually pull them out of the oven, and drape them over the small end of a shot glass to let them cool and set, they make great little boats for meats, tuna/chicken/egg salads, or even greek yogurt flavored with ranch or italian dressing/dry dip packets. Also you can drape them over a rolling pin if you make bigger/longer piles on the parchment paper, and then drape them over the pin, they turn into cute little taco shells.
You can also sprinkle the little piles of cheese with garlic pepper, lemon pepper, garlic powder, seasoning salt, creole/cajun seasoning, and this gives you flavor and change of tastes for a little more variety when food gets boring. I use them to this very day especially for pepperoni dips, and other protein snacks.
