Soft food suggestions and recipes?

[gully90 214]

I will be starting soft foods in a bit and want to have some recipes or suggestions in mine. My food doesn’t have to be puréed.

Hi gully90,

My dietitian quoted "Anything that you can mash with your fork without trouble , you can have it". Like yours, my food doesn't need to be "out of the blender" either.

Some of the items she suggested in my meal plan:

Tofu, scrambled eggs, baked Beans, carrots, potatoes, sweet potatoes, yam, steamed and baked fish, canned tuna and salmon, grounded beef and chicken in Soup, hummus, guacamole, soft cheese etc etc.

In short, real food!!!

Hope this helps!

I'm very new to this. Different surgeon will have different suggestions so don't kill the messenger. :-)

Had my surgery on June 11. Best decision ever!
