What's some examples besides the obvious of soft foods? Shrimp? Dying for shrimp but don't want to go too fast.

I am 10 days and on puréed food. Shrimp was fine for me, I mushed it up with a fork. I think the smaller ones are softer so they may go down easier. Sweet potato is another good one, refrained Beans, eggs, cottage cheese, ricotta cheese, tuna, egg salad - all good.

I'm on soft foods as well and was told that if I can mush it with a fork I can have it except for bread, raw veggies and fruit with skin. My current favs are grilled shrimp, tuna salad and saltines.

Refried Beans (low fat) are good and so is greek yogurt.

I can't do dairy. I've been eating egg salad, saltines, tuna, and until I realized the dairy was causing the nausea I was eating refried Beans. I gotta have cheese for that. :( sick of the same ole things :(

What about mashed potatoes, meats and veggies cooked in the crockpot, chili, steamed veggies or Soups.

Hate Soup, can do mashed taters, haven't tried much meat besides puréed but crockpot will be sporting something tomorrow, and I don't like pumpkin. :) I'm super picky more so than my kids. Think I'm going to put a whole chicken in crockpot with rosemary and BBQ and freeze the leftovers in snack baggies. I can freeze it like that right?

You can certainly freeze it. But if you use baggies instead of tupperware, wrap the baggies of leftovers in tin foil to prevent freezer burn.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
