I'm really hungry! I can eat very little but I can't cook! I've been on liquids, juices, sugerfree shakes and watermelon! But I really wanna eat sumthing! I've lost 16kgs.. And my doc wants me to eat soft food.. But what is soft food!!!!

I guess I was lucky in the sense that at 1 month I could eat anything and keep it down. chicken, steak ect was no problem. Soft foods would be thicker Soups, cheeses, meats cooked in a slow cooker ect. Do a search and you will find plenty of good choices.

I would stay clear of the juices and watermelon unless they are sugar free or calorie free. I know early out its great to be able to eat these things because its hard to eat just about anything. At a month out its time to really start tracking your foods and thinking twice about things you are eating.

I am one month out too. I eat eggs with a little cheese, refried beans, roast beef with gravy, and last night for dinner I had chicken chili.

My NUT said "anything you can smush with a fork" lol. Not sure if that helps, but basically if I can squish it, and it goes thru the tines then it counts for the soft stage.

Yep, or in my surgeon's words: Anything that you can chew to an applesauce consistency. It must be that consistency. If you can tell what you're eating, keep chewing!

I'm eating scrambled/fried eggs, soft cheese slices and sticks, refried Beans, pureed chili, shaved deli meat, light yogurt and sugar free pudding, pureed shredded chicken with hot sauce, etc.

I'm starting to eat a little rice and dal.. I'm Indian and pure veg.!!! It's hell! To get protiens so that my hair dnt fall off I hav to take carbs too! I tired chicken but I didn't like it! I stared at 115 kgs and now I'm 99! Really happy! But the diet really messes with my head!

But I've noticed that when I eat a little of carbs I can work out really well at the gym!

I've said it before but will repeat- cottage cheese is an excellent source of protein, and very tasty if you scramble 1/4 c of it with an egg.

Cottage cheese gives me a very pungent smell that comes out of my stomach once I'm done with it! I used to love it! Mum made really nice cottage cheese and peas but now it makes me really uncomfortable!!!

What fat content? Just thinking it might make a difference. I use fat free.

Fat free cottage cheese isn't available here.. We have tofu though. But It dsnt go with my tummy too! Worst of all I have been recently diagnosed with stones in my kidney! So I must minimise calcium!

There is tons of soft food options. Doesn't sound like you eat meat. I do now but was vegetarian for many years. Lentils, soft cheeses, beans, eggs, hummus, soups/stews, over-steamed veggies, yogurt, vegetarian meat substitutes e.g. Morning Star Farms "sausage" patties, "meatballs". Keeping food soft and moist is key so I add different sauces like teriyaki, taco, pasta sauce, etc. I also soften hard foods in yogurt or pudding for example, I have been really low on fiber so I bought All Bran cereal and mixed it with low carb yogurt to soften before eating. Got 8 grams of protein and 13 grams of fiber that way.
