Soft food ideas

[FabFemale 233]

I've been on soft foods for a week. I have another week to go. Then regular food. I need some variety. Please let me know your successful meals on soft foods.

I see my surgeon for my 1 month appointment on June 1st. He wanted me to lose 10 more pounds. I've lost 5 lbs.

Need ideas on how to get rid of the next 5 in a week. I've been in this stall for 2 weeks.

I get in 60g minimum of Protein and 64 oz of liquids.

Thanks.

tuna, steamed veggies, cheese, yogurt, refried Beans. I also made a smoothie the other day using low fat vanilla yogurt and strawberries. You can add plain Protein powder to it. And lastly, a veggie stew. I was able to mash up the vegetables in the broth and it was pretty good!

You may want to up your Protein. 60 grams seems low. What is your Protein target?

When I was on soft foods, I ate a lot of: Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, refried Beans, tuna, salmon, fish, etc.

@@Inner Surfer Girl my NUT said 60-90g. She said not to use the premiere Protein Shakes because should only have 20-25g per meal. I'm trying to find a RM shake I like. Most days I do get in more than 60g

I just realized today that I have some frozen beef liverwurst and beef braunschweiger that will be perfect for the pureed/soft stage. 5g of Protein in a 28g serving, no carbs or sugar.

Sounds good if I liked liverwurst. I'm having small hamburgers, mashed potatoes, dry Cereal yogurt, milk 60 cal fruit popsicles, can't tolerate the sugar free anymore. 1 shake per day, diet gatorade, egg, toast, cottage cheese, etc. When does the strong aftertaste go away. It is with most foods. taking 1 prilosec in am.

Just be careful. I LOVED liver cheese pre-op. Post-op it is a bit fatty for me. I don't specifically limit fatty foods but have found that foods with a higher fat content are not as appetizing as they once were and can make me a little woozie. Just go slow and see how well you handle it.

If I recall, livercheese is by Oscar Mayer, right? Square piece with white fat around the edge?

What I purchased is nothing like that. These are the ingredients:

Ingredients: beef, beef liver, beef kidneys, beef heart, Water, sea salt, onion powder, white pepper, coriander, marjoram, all spice

With that being said, I absolutely plan on taking it slow, my new stomach may or may not like it. Was just excited to realize there is something else I can try during that stage that is healthy.

That isn't a lot of Protein. You may want to try to find things with a bigger protein punch. I lived on/live on Greek yogurt and cottage cheese.

Hi everyone, do you think it is ok to have Panera breads broccoli and cheddar Soup 11 days post op in the puréed stage?

I was told to stay away from broccoli for awhile. I was on Clear Liquids first 2.5 weeks after surgery. My surgeon said it was important to let my stomach heal.

[Shemekasr 54]

Thank you @@helenpgh I will take that advice and stay away from it!
