4 Week Post-Op Diet Help



Recommended Posts

Could you please give me an example of your full day soft food diet menu? Also what kinds of things did you take for lunch at work? I really need some good menu ideas because I've never cooked a lot & when I did it was boxed food that I now need to avoid. Part of this journey for me is going to be learning how to cook, sounds dumb but I just didn't learn it growing up & now I want to change that. Any menu ideas would be great, thanks.

I made a HUGE pot of chili with Beans and ground chicken, lean turkey ham, etc....and pureed that up. At it a lot, high in Protein and vitamins/minerals. Refried Beans of various types are always popular. Lentil Soup, gently pulsed in the blender works as well.

Others, of course, would be things like greek yogurt, tofu (search for Savory Scrambled Tofu!), baked potato mashed up with lite sour cream.... Some docs list low-salt, no-additive deli meat as a soft food. I was quite fond of mesquite turkey breast lunch meat, very well chewed. Sat great.

All of these things, of course, depend on what your NUT and MD recommend. I have a much more liberal carb allowance than most, so it broadened my horizons. Good luck!
