I Need "Soft Food" Ideas!



Recommended Posts

Thankfully starting soft foods on Friday! I know for sure I'm gonna try the ricotta bake and buffalo chicken dip. Any other suggestions?

Most white fish breaks down when you bake it. Get some cod and bake it with lemon juice and dill. Mash it up with a fork and you have one of the healthiest soft Proteins around.

Ingredients

2 (10 ounce) cans chicken breasts

1 (8 ounce) packages fat free cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup frank's redhot original cayenne pepper sauce

1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

1/4 cup fat free ranch dressing

1/4 cup fat-free Greek yogurt

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2. Place cream cheese in a medium bowl and stir until smooth. Mix in Frank's RedHot, mozzarella cheese, ranch dressing, and yogurt. Stir in chicken until thoroughly combined. Spoon mixture evenly into a deep 8-inch by 8-inch baking dish.

3. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes, or until

mixture is heated through. Stir well and enjoy!

4. P.S. We love dipping carrot sticks and red bell pepper chunks into this dip, but we've also dunked baked tortilla chips into it and used it as a sandwich spread!

5. HG Alternative! To make this dish FAST, skip the oven altogether. Prepare dip according to the directions, but in a microwave-safe dish. Then microwave uncovered on high for 5 minutes (stopping and stirring halfway through cooking), or until hot.

The best for me was to puree whatever my family was having for supper. One of my favorites is chicken breast cooked in the crockpot with salsa. I chop it real good after cooking and I add in some fat free sour cream.

I like a few spoonfuls of refried Beans, salsa, a spoonful of Greek yogurt (or low fat sour cream). I heat the beans slightly and mix the rest together until smooth. Sometimes I add a little tostitos cheese dip. Even without chips, I feel like I'm having Mexican for dinner

On soft and puréed foods, my doctor allows their crunchy Protein supplements including Kay's. naturals protein pretzel sticks as long as chewed to mush. You could dip something like that with doctor approval. I had enough of them preop to never want them again.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
