Food advice please

[Eve30]

Hi- I am on phase 3(5th week post op) and my leaflet says lumpy food which means any food mashed. Very nervous about going on to this from purée so would like advice as to which foods are good ones to start with? I understand diff people have probs with diff foods but just looking for general ideas eg can I mash meatballs and rice or would carbs be a problem? Thanks!!

Hi. If you think about it you can't mash meatballs or rice. I struggled with rice for ages so I'd avoid it. It's anything that squishes under the back of a fork. I had some tortellini, lasagne, mash with cheese, moussaka, the insides of a jacket pot with cheese or beans. Take it easy and you'll be fine xx

You can also have things like shepards pie, fish pie, chilli with the inside of a jacket, casserole, curry, sunday dinner etc. There's plenty you can have as long as you can mash it with the back of a fork
