Soft food stage- out to eat?



Recommended Posts

I ate mashed potatoes at kfc (only a few spoon fulls). When my family ate out I took a yogurt with me or I stopped and bought a pre made Protein Shake. It worked for me because we have 3 small kids and I usually dont sit and enjoy a leisurely meal anyway. Good luck to you. If you dont think you can keep from eating things you shouldnt then I say stay home. I just tried to remember that it is only a short time and food is only for nutrients not enjoyment.

Just stick to Soup or chili, and don't expect to get more than half the serving down.

We went to outback and I ordered the french onion Soup (just be careful to drink the broth separate from the bread/cheese) and I asked them to give me more broth than onions. I also had a couple small bites of my sister's sweet potato.

If you go to an Italian restaurant, you could order some type of cheese-filled Pasta... and just eat the cheese filling. It is super yummy and full of Protein.

Going out during the soft foods stage is difficult but luckily it doesn't last long!

Any suggestions on some good places to go while still in the soft food stage?

That depends on what is included in your "soft food" stage - there are lots of variations. Mine included most seafood, rice & Beans, veggieburgers, eggs, etc.

Anywhere that serves scrambled eggs! Also, Panera has amazing Soups. I get soups out all the time. I love lobster bisque or french onion, creamy potato, yummy! For fast food, refried Beans, mashed potatoes, baked potatoes from Wendy's.....hope that helps some.

I went to O'Charleys and had a cup of their chicken Tortilla Soup. I took off the tortilla pieces and drank almost half the yummy juice of the soup. Then I took the rest home and put it in the food processor since there were chunk of chicken. I had two more meals off of it. Not bad for $3 biggrin.gif

Chinese resturant, egg drop Soup. Crabmeat augratin/crab cakes at seafood resturant. Sweet potatoes and soup at steak resturant. Refried black Beans with queso Mexican resturant. You can still find stuff just have to be a bit more creative. I notice I order most of my stuff now on the "sides" side of the menu. My four year old and I split a plate now and we both get more than enough to eat.

I enjoy the time with the family and not having to cook EVEN more than the just eating alot of food like I used to.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
