i started my soft foods on friday and i have no desire to eat. i'm also having trouble with figuring out what i can take with me if i;m gonna be out of the house for a few hours. hoping someone can help me with some suggestions

when i would travel, I would order soups at restaurants, pudding, yogurts, anything thak would be soothing. My stomach really preferred soups though. It also helped with fighting dehydrations.

i haven;t tempted eating out yet. but yesterday i had a graduation party and was at my father's today. i didn't know what to take with me and i knew there wasn't gonna be anything that i could eat. so i ended up leaving early so i could eat at home, not that i wanted to eat but knew i needed to. uggggggggggg

I tend to throw a cheese stick or cubes in my purse. Later when you can eat more, I also take nuts, beef snack bites.

My surgeon and his nurses said to start getting used to carrying an insulated bag w/a cold pack in it and some of the things you can eat at any given stage. I found a metal bento box system at Amazon that I plan to use, both for taking to work or when I know I'm going to be out for several hours. I also found on there an insulated lunch bag that looks like a purse. It's got a pocket on the front that will also help for those days when I'm just taking my phone, keys and ID but will be out long enough that I'll need possible re-fueling.

With an insulated bag and cold pack, you'll be able to take cheese, hard boiled eggs, yogurt, cottage cheese, lunch meat- all kinds of stuff.

I always keep a bag of almonds in my car and purse as well as Ill toss cheese cubes, an apple or an orange n my bag when i know i will be away from home. Keeping the nuts on hand really helps

ty for the ideas. i'll keep them in mind. right now i am only 11 days post op so too early for fruits and nuts.
