This is the list I got, not very exciting but I'm sure you could fix'em up. I have not got to that stage but would really like to as it is so boring drinking liquid stuff as most of it is sweet and I am sick of it already but only one more week to go. Before surgery I experimented with the baby food...yuk! I want some seafood, I think I will switch the tuna for crab or lobster...that sounds pretty good? Good luck!

Yes it can get confusing and the name on this is probably not going to help.... they call this stage 3 ...."Soft Pureed Foods"...so I'm sure you are even more confused now..lol. Stage 2 was the "Full Liquid" as opposed to stage 1 which is the "Clear Liquid" stage. But you should always go by your Doctors list. Stage 4 on mine says "regular diet".
I am heading into the Soft Pureed stage next week..I am not at all hungry more bored than anything. My DR wants me to get off the shakes which is going to be hard as I can't eat enough of the things that have protein, at least not with the lack of hunger I now have. Maybe you get hungrier later and can eat pureed chicken but is sure is not pretty to look at. I practiced in my bullet before surgery..I did the chicken breast with spinach and mashed potato. Don't look at it! Just close your eyes cause it looks like baby poop. It actually wasn't that bad. I did not like the hamburger puree at all. Tuna isn't bad as it looks pretty much the same as the chicken...in fact I can't really tell the difference from the canned chicken or the canned solid white tuna. I can tell you that if you have a dog, they love it! The one I liked was Ricotta Cheese with low sugar Marinara and a pinch of Parmesan cheese, nuke it 1 minute and you pretty much have the inside of lasagna. I like the cauliflower with lowfat Cheese soup..it's not bad. The spinach with low fat cream of mushroom..ok. Since they say your tastes may change maybe I will like them more now? Oh, there is one thing I actually thought was good and that was Gerber's L'il Chicken Sticks, they taste like mild hot dogs, low in calories, fat, sodium and high in protein, and they are mushy already. Hope this helps.
