Generally there are three stages right after RNY gastric bypass surgery. These are full liquid, puree, solids. So when you say soft foods I suspect that you are referring to the puree stage, which are foods with the consistency of baby food. In this stage meats should be pureed in a blender or food processor.

The full liquid and puree stages were so short, I do not even remember what I ate. And the meal volume was so small, it was hard to even call it a meal.

But as you approach the solid stage, recipes and approaches may become important. I found that softer meals went down much easier than hard meals. Softer meals were meals like chili and Soups. Harder meals were like steaks. I also found that mixing food groups together added flavor back into my meals. So the approach that I took was to eat softer meals, ones that I made from scratch. This allowed me to fortify the meals with extra Protein. Generally my chili and Soups had twice the Protein than those purchase in cans from the grocery store. At the end of this article, I provided some recipes in case you wish to try this approach. http://www.breadandbutterscience.com/Surgery.pdf

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
