    I am new to this and just trying to learn.

    Tomato soup is good but I also really enjoy Cambles veg beef. The veg and beef is so soft it is tolerated easily. I can eat almost anything in small amounts Just eat slow. Good luck

    The rules they give us are for the very basic of us who can't tolerate the change. I have been able to slowly add foods I like so now I can eat small amounts of anything.

    I am eating tuna

    I don't have cravings for much. Fruit salad and Popsicle's seem to satisfy my cravings for sweets. Cambels veg beef soup is real easy to eat and is very soft. I tried an energy bar with chocolate but it made my stomach uncomfortable so no more of those.
