    Google the blog TheWorldAccordingtoEggFace. Great suggestions for all phases of this process, with recipes.

    At that stage, I ate canned roast beef hash, further smashed into the required consistency. I appreciated the flavor, plus got about 8 meals out of one can, by which point I was DONE with even wanting any more of it.

    Don't stress about meal differences. Eat what you can when you can. As always, key on protein and especially any foods your doctor recommends.

    low carb greek yogurts, dannon light and fit or activia have good ones, chew any fruit bits really really well
    cottage cheese
    egg / tuna / chicken salad (might want to send it through the food processer a little to make sure it is super fine)
    riccotta cheese (warmed in the oven with pasta sauce and melted cheese)

    This soft stage only last for a little while so, remember to concentrate on protien, and try to stay away from any high carb, high sugar foods.

    Good Luck!

    Avoid mashed potato, empty cals and easy to get dumping syndrome. Super ground proteins. Just put seasoned meat and veg in a blender with some chick stock and whiz to correct consistency.

    My doctor required 3 weeks on liquids, so I went pretty quickly from liquid to soft foods because after 5 total weeks on liquids I was ready to kill someone.

    Here's some of what I ate (and still do): low sodium spam, various types of bean purees, plain greek yogurt, tuna fish, soft cheese (feta, Laughing Cow), and Indian dahls (but watch the fat and sodium!).

    I don't normally eat mayo or sour cream, instead I substitute plain greek yogurt (a trick I learned years ago). I used kefir to thin out beans and dahls to make them easier to swallow.

    If you're looking for something everyone can eat, I would recommend Bob's Red Mill Organic High Fiber Cereal. It does have 27 grams of carbs (10 of which are fiber), but that comes with 8 grams of protein per serving, 20% of your daily iron RDA, and no sodium. When I am really jonesing for carbs, this is what I eat. I still can't eat a "full" serving.
