Nutritionist notes: Scrambled egg whites and oatmeal are the only two foods that are not pureed but are ok for this stage because they are very soft and easy to eat. Patients should still chew them thoroughly to prevent any discomfort. This stage is a perfect time to really start practicing to chew your food thoroughly (at least 25 times).
