Ms skinniness 3,003 Posted January 12, 2013 Dense Protein is solid foods like steak, hamburgers etc. I would 't advise eating dense Proteins until your stomach is healed. 1 TD41 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Frza 194 Posted January 12, 2013 thx deb... so soft foods what kind of Protein should i be looking for??? Just trying to be prepared this is new i have done research but its always best to ask others that have gone thru it b4 me!!! TD41 Yogurt & cottage cheese are good examples of 'soft' Protein. A piece of chicken is a good example of 'dense' protein. 1 TD41 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
