I all! I will be entering the soft food stage in a few days and I was wondering what foods worked for you and what you found to be challenging at this phase. Any and all advice welcome!

My go to has been mozerella sticks, pinto Beans, turkey lunch meat (rolled up) and (baked) chicken. For me the chicken needs to be very tender or it doesn't sit well. I still can't tolerate pork. I just had some carne asada today (first time, small portion) it was delicious!

Hello there! My soft food go to foods were: cottage cheese, sf pudding, refired Beans w/cheese and salsa, steamed cauliflower with parm. cheese, string cheese, and my favorite of all was a small chili from Wendys! I could only eat about 1/4 of it but it was sooooo good!!

Taco meat with salsa and fatfree sour cream. Greek yogurt, my wife makes a killer chicken cacciatore with the Purdue trim and fit style chicken, she puts everything in a crock pot around 8am lets it cook for about 8hrs to the point where you the meat just falls off the bone. Baked flounder or tilapia was good too

Thanks everyone! I just started on soft food and I'm thrilled to not have to eat out of the blender any more! I had a scrambled egg and it was heavenly!

After 4 long weeks of liquids, I dream t of my first soft meal. Refried Beans with a dollup of sour cream, taco sauce and a pinch of cheddar cheese. It was like a steak and lobster dinner. All I had dreamed and more. For the following 4 weeks I ate alot of canned chili (with melted cheese), cottage cheese, yogurt, canned chicken and tuna with mayo, eggs, refried Beans, tilapia, and canned fruit/veggies, avocado. Basically the only things I couldn't have were tough meats (white meat chicken{not canned}, pork, red meat, fresh veggies/fruit, bread products, nuts, seeds. Most things r considered soft or semi soft (oh, and no Jerky allowed! lol. Guess thats probly self explanatory).

I'm sure ur happy to be moving onto the soft phase. The 1st 4 weeks were like an eternity for me. Thought it would never end. Good luck to u and have fun with the advanced diet...

      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.
