I graduate from purée to soft foods today. I am going to try a scrambled egg for lunch. What are some of your favorite soft foods?

Congrats on moving to the next stage. I have been on soft Proteins for about 2 weeks. Initially i was told to eat yogurt, cottage cheese, refried Beans etc. I did that for a few days. There is a recipe for ricotta bake that is very good. It has been mentioned on here a number of times.

Since I can only eat Protein I enjoy crab cake, grilled scallops, grilled tilapia. Also canned tuna, ham and chicken mixed with Miracle Whip light mayo. For snacks: greek yogurt, string cheese. I have also hd roast chicken mixed with some BBQ Sauce.< /p>

I ate a lot of chili with cheddar cheese on top, refried Beans, eggs, egg salad, chicken salad, and (gasp) mashed potatoes. Yep, I ate carbs! And with gravy (double gasp). Tilapia, mahi mahi is really good and canned veggies (fresh veggies aren't considered soft). I even ate some french fries (maybe 5 in 1 sitting) (triple gasp)

Have fun eating actual food. I couldn't wait to eat soft after 4 weeks of liquids. I dreamt about my first meal (refried Beans, cheese, taco sauce with a dollup of sour cream). Tasted like steak and lobster to me!

I graduated to soft foods too today. However, things sound good then I eat a few bites and ugh it's not what I thought. Made kidney bean salad but after making it thought it didn't look good and put it away. Same with eggs.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
