Hi Leanne,
Lots of things to eat besides applesauce and pudding. Don't forget
yogurt, ice cream. cottage cheese and Slim Fast or Ensure.
All kinds of soups. Canned or home made.
Crumble hamburger and fry lightly and add it to pasta or rice with
tomato sauce. (spaghetti, goulash etc)
Mashed vegetables such as potatoes, squash, peas, carrots etc.
If you have a food processor you can do raw veggies such as Cole
slaw. I did a couple of radishes and ate them with salt and pepper..
they were so good.
Most canned fruits are easy to eat, just chopped them up a little.
In a couple of weeks you will be adding more and more to your diet.
Good Luck .
Bj
