[halfofheather 8]

Hi, I just made it threw 2 weeks of full liquids and what fun that was!! Now I need ideas for soft foods, tonight I am making the ricotta bake and for lunch I had thinned out mashed potatoes, let me tell you those were the BEST mashed potatoes I have EVER eaten!! Thanks Heather

tuna salad, chili, crab cakes (I omitted the bread crumbs) , Turkey or chicken salad.

I would have some deli turkey (3oz.) and melt a little cheese on top to mix it up. Scrambled eggs, Fat Free Greek Yogurt, baked or broiled salmon or tilapia. Just to name a few. :-) Good luck!!

Hi. I'm 4 days post-op and haven't made it to soft foods yet (not for another 3 weeks or so per my doctor's orders) but I'm loving all the ideas you listed above. Thanks!

Also, what is the ricotta bake? I'm very intrigued!

Sorry and thinned out mashed potatoes? Is there a recipe section I'm missing out on? I've been reading stuff on here for a while but never posted and haven't explored much. Thanks!

I just made it to soft foods as well yesterday. Last night I ate baked Tilapia. This morning I had 1 soft scrambled egg with a Laughing Cow cheese wedge. Yummy

Instead of mashed potatoes, try mashed cauliflower! This will keep your carbs lower. Steam, add a little plain Greek yogurt, a 1/4 tsp of beef concentrate stock (really helps with flavor), salt, pepper and mash! Sooo yummy! Later on post op I'm going to try the mashed cauliflower to top off a shepherd's pie!

I actually thin out my mashed potatoes with puréed cauliflower so it's not so starchy but still good, especially if you add light shredded cheese

Oh yes I actually love mashed cauliflower. I'll definitey have to make that!
