I am at a loss.

On Tuesday, I can start 'soft foods', but it doesn't really explain what soft foods are. Everything it gave as an example looks like pureed.< /strong>

Can you give me some recipes or what you ate for soft foods?

Can I eat meat now like ground meat/turkey?

I am already eating chicken/fish mashed up.

I guess now I don't have to mash it up/puree it?

Any guidance into this would be amazing!

Thank you in advance!

My plan was similar. I could also have banana or canned fruit mashed up, mashed potato or sweet potato, well cooked veggies such as carrots or green Beans, even ground beef.

My team's rule was that soft foods are foods you can easily cut with a fork. However, I was not allowed grains, sweets, or starchy veggies no matter how soft they might be! So no potatoes or oatmeal or anything like that for me.

You can make a chili using ground turkey and soft vegetables and Beans for extra Protein. There a bunch on YouTube that are great. I started with the chili and have been making it regularly.

Mine was on Sept 16th.

But you should have some guidelines from your Doctor.

Every Doctor is different. Some might want you on full liquids still. Some might let you do pureed, but eat anything you want.

Follow that 'cause I don't wanna give you bad advice.

When did you have your surgery? I just had mine on 9/29 and trying to figure out how to eat(drink) again.

      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.
