So I am starting my fourth week of post op today and was cleared for soft foods last week. My body has made an enemy out of chicken and eggs since the purée phase. I was struggling for a while but thanks to this group I began reaching my daily protein goal through the power of scallops! (it was an amazing break through for me). Now my daily meal consists of scallops, egg, and a veggie smoothie along with water or a 80% water 20% OJ slush that I do using the freezer and water bottles. Now, I wanted to ask, I am the type of person who used to love having sushi at least once to twice a week, it was delicious and close to home. what exactly could I eat in the soft food stage to add some flavour to my menu if I want something not from my kitchen? Like can I eat edamame, or shumai (I heard pork is an amazing protein), or salmon sashimi (I had a bit of medium rare extra lean ground beef the other day and it went down smoothly), or pho soup. Literally anything I can order, sometimes it’s just me at home and I can’t go grocery shopping.
