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.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
