Hi all! Ill be 2 weeks post ope on Monday and I can start phase 2/soft food diet. My sheet says eggs and fish and soft pasta etc, Any other things I can have like meatballs or salmon etc.?

I'm eating nonfat refried beans with a sprinkle of cheese.

My favorite soft food so far is baby bell cheese.

I made meatballs (93% lean) in spaghetti sauce and ate it soaked in sauce to keep it moist. Was able to eat 1. 93% lean is on my diet list. Some can't have beef for 6 months.

Great! Thanks everyone:)

Refried beans were a lifesaver for me at that point. Also, mashed up canned chicken mixed in with tomato basil soup. A little cheese is good, I second the Baby Bel cheese. Also maybe break up some turkey meatballs in a tomato sauce.

Laughing Cow cheese is also good, some non/low-fat Greek yogurt, small curd cottage cheese (w/ a little unsweetened applesauce, like 1tbsp), SF pudding made with 2% milk (you can add protein powder!). I could only do a single soft poached eggs at two weeks, and I'm still turned off by canned tuna and chicken. I also made a roasted cauliflower mash (any recipe online works) and added protein powder, it was pretty tasty.

I also like the Laughing Cow "cheese" but keep in mind that (at least the wedges I bought) are not real cheese and don't have much Protein. Still, I buy them and enjoy them. Some of the new flavors are really nice although the original swiss is my favorite.

But a Laughing Cow low fat wedge has only 2g protein, while a Baby Bel for the same size is real cheese and has 6g protein.

I didn't realize that Laughing Cow was not real cheese until I noticed that it does not require refrigeration! Holy (laughing) cow!

I eat chicken soup, I just cut the chicken in small pieces, the moisture of the broth helps it go down smoothly! I also eat beans and lentils with chesse, cottage chesse with banana, I've had some tuna and salmon, potato and egg salad. I can only eat one boiled egg, I haven't really tried it fried or any other way. I also had some turkey ground meatballs with tomato sauce (it was great). I've only been on soft foods for 5 days!!!

Sounds good thanks everyone
