Hi !

I know how you feel about being bored with food, even now that im

able to eat most things i feel ill at the thought of soups and

smoothies etc. I found scrambled eggs quite easy to eat, also

noodles, rice and pasta dishes were managable for me. Good luck!

Hi ,

I'm afraid I'm running out of ideas as well but I've had lots of rice

dishes and lots of chicken. I prefer dark meat anyway and it has been

pretty easy for me to handle any sort of roast or fried chicken as long

as i cut up the meat in small pieces.

I've made macaroni and cheese using orzo pasta instead of real macaroni

(though I can handle pretty much any pasta now). I also pureed some

cooked spinach and feta cheese with a little garlic and nutmeg and

mixed that with orzo- that was yummy though the spinach does get stuck

everywhere.

Tuna works well. I have a pasta sauce recipe that is essentially tuna,

onions, canned tomatoes, black olives, and white wine. That ends up

pretty mushy and was easy to get down and tasty.

Lots of eggs- omelets, fried, scrambled, etc.

I did a version of shepherd's pie recently- any recipe for that

involving ground meat should be ok. I did a fish version in a cheese

sauce with cooked carrots and spinach, topped with mashed potatoes.

Did well with eggplant parmesan at a restaurant- though I struggled

with the spaghetti. Manicotti went down well too.

If you like tofu, that should be another easy one. I thought I would

eat a lot but I ate so much a few months ago that I got really sick of

it and haven't touched it since.

I've been eating all this stuff since I was unbanded- I got pretty good

at swallowing small things whole or mashing them against the roof of my

mouth. I'm now allowed to chew some but my diet hasn't changed much.

If you have cookbooks or feel like browsing through recipes online,

look for things involving rice, pasta, tuna, chicken, etc. (all the

basics you can handle) and see what variations they have. Even if you

find things that look tasty but require a little chewing, hold on to

the recipe because you won't be doing any real heavy chewing for a

while yet.

I was told to avoid salads, crusty breads, tough meats, etc. for

another month yet, so I need to come up with some new ideas myself. I

cook for the rest of my family and they are now on this soft diet as

well but no one seems to be complaining yet. (I think they know that

if they complain they have to make their own dinner)

If you come up with any other good ideas, let me know- I'm getting

bored with eating the same foods as well.

Sorry, I can't help you with this one. I'm still enjoying my new-found

" 's Soup on Hand " and my chocolate ice cream. That's basically all I

eat. I did try grits and eggs (I add Velveeta cheese to my grits) and that was

heavenly...but I only had that twice because it's really hard to get it out of

my teeth/braces without my waterpik. At this point, believe it or not, I really

have no desire to eat anything else and all I drink is water. Then, again,

before surgery, I wasn't much of a variety eater either. :-)

Hi,

Does anyone have any great non-chew food ideas to share? I am so

tired of soups, shakes and mushy fish. I have blended prime beef

chili from my local gourmet market and put it on top of pastina. I

have had this about 3 times, now I am sick of it.

My sister has been making fish for dinner. I just mush it up with my

spoon and swallow it. I have had endless amounts of baked regular

and sweet potatoes.

I borrowed my father's juicer and have been making fresh vegie &

fruit juices.

Any great food ideas out there?

PS - have also blended mexican food,,,tired of that too.

Smooches,

When you're up to grits again, try melting one of those rolls of

Kraft Garlic Cheese into a six servings or so of grits... You may be

a purist and do this with real garlic and real grated cheddar, but

somehow I doubt it, if you're into Velveeta! ;~)

You probably already know this trick, but it sure is good!

Don't mean to steal your thunder, here, Smooches -- but EGADS!! We

must be dealing with a YANKEE here!

Grits, , are wonderful. Northerners tend to want to pollute them

with sugar and milk or cream, as if they were cream of wheat. But

they're nothing like that.

They're ground up hominy, and make a nice however-soft-you-want-it

sort of mush. They're best (like cream of wheat, in my opinion)

stealing some enhancing flavor from something else. In the case of

grits, the Southern practice is to use butter or margarine and salt

(they come from a time before we knew we should worry about

cardiovascular troubles in our diets) or Red Eye Gravy (made by

frying a ham slice in its own grease, then adding a cup of black

coffee to the pan and reducing it.

They're a breakfast staple around here. When they're cold, they sort

of set up, and you can cut them in slices and fry those, but not for

a tender mouth!

The Quaker company (as in Quaker Oats) makes all sorts of grits, from

the kind you have to cook for 20 minutes or so, to the sort that you

can just add hot water to. And they make some that are pre-flavored

with butter, or bacon, or I forget what else.

(And actually I was teasing up above. Some of my best friends are

Yankees, and even some of them have learned to love grits!)

Actually I am not a Yankee, in fact I am not American at all. I live

in Ontario Canada:) I actually live in the city of Windsor. We border

onto Detroit Michigan:) Don't worry no offence taken at all. I really

do appreciate your reply. I am going to look in my grocery store for

these grits next time I am there. Not sure if I will have any luck,

but it is worth a try. I have to wear this splint for another 3

weeks. So that means a lot more soft meals until then. What is your

favorite way of making them?

Thanks again

Actually I am not a Yankee, in fact I am not American at all. I live

in Ontario Canada:) I actually live in the city of Windsor. We border

onto Detroit Michigan:) Don't worry no offence taken at all. I really

do appreciate your reply. I am going to look in my grocery store for

these grits next time I am there. Not sure if I will have any luck,

but it is worth a try. I have to wear this splint for another 3

weeks. So that means a lot more soft meals until then. What is your

favorite way of making them?

Thanks again

Cammie,

Never tried grits with garlic cheese...sounds good. I will try this one.

Purist? Get real...maybe when the kids were little. Now, I take the shortest

route possible...can, frozen, microwave, etc...I even buy my cheese already

grated. LOL!

Smooches,

When you're up to grits again, try melting one of those rolls of

Kraft Garlic Cheese into a six servings or so of grits... You may be

a purist and do this with real garlic and real grated cheddar, but

somehow I doubt it, if you're into Velveeta! ;~)

You probably already know this trick, but it sure is good!

basically all I eat. I did try grits and eggs (I add Velveeta cheese

to my grits) and that was heavenly...but I only had that twice

because it's really hard to get it out of my teeth/braces without my

waterpik. At this point, believe it or not, I really have no desire

to eat anything else and all I drink is water. Then, again, before

surgery, I wasn't much of a variety eater either. :-)

The best way to describe grits (also known as " hominy " ) is to say that it's a

grainy hot cereal kind of like cream of wheat only not nearly as smooth. Of

course, the taste is totally different from cream of wheat. It's actually made

from white corn. It's mostly a southern food (or at least it used to be). I'm

from the west coast but both my parents are from the south, so I grew up on

them. They're quite good - Quaker Oats is a good brand of grits if you want to

try it...and they're very easy to prepare.
