Soft Food Ideas

[MrsColeman 3]

So many of you say eggs are good, I really struggle with eggs of any kind. I feel them going down every bit of the way and its so uncomfortable. tuna is also a big no no. My soft foods consist of mash, mash and more mashed potato.

I ate some pinto Beans last night for supper, and I will be having them again for lunch. Didn't really taste all that great. I think my taste is messed up right now. I am going to have a baked potato for supper tonight.

I looked at my list again, and it says I can have crackers, toasted bread, deli meats during this stage. I have had some crackers the last couple days, but I don't know if I would call that soft food.

I had a cracker before I needed something to chew , I thought I chewed it up great but now I feel like I have sharp little cracker edges in my throat. Very weird I'm feeling this with no fill.. Not sure if I'm happy or sad about it!

Try mashing Beans with a little purred salsa to add moisture and flavor. You can also add a little fat free sour cream or greek yogurt. Instead of mayo in egg salad or tuna, try some mashed avocado and or a little olive oil. Avocado is a food fat. A mashed or baked sweet potato is another good option. As is hummas.

I started soft foods yesterday and have been good with hummus, tuna salad and baked potato ( mashed up). Breakfast, lunch and dinner Today and yesterday both, I would say that my portion size has been closer to the 1/4 cup right now.

Are Beans a good soft food? I've been wanting some good ole' pinto Beans. <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> That may not be good for the gas pains I've been having.

Yes any kind of bean is good! Smash them up or chew really good!

I had egg salad the other day I'm three weeks out and it kinda just got stuck in my chest area.. not sure if I ate too fast or too much or both but I won't be trying that again. oatmeal also. I'm starting to think I can't eat anything but soup!

I have the same thing happening with tuna salad. Now I am scared to eat it!
