Hi all!

I am in the soft phase and am clueless as to what to eat. I have been doing yogurt, tuna, Popsicles and soups! Help me please with ideas!!! Please!

Hummus, avocado, scrambled eggs with cheese, baby bell cheese or laughing cow wedges, egg salad, moist fish, canned chicken...

Can you tell I'm looking forward to my change over tomorrow?

cottage cheese, canned chicken, scrambled eggs (watch this one, some folks get sick, go for the whites). refried beans, hummus, sugar free pudding, if you can mush it with a fork you can probably eat it fine.

I havent had the sleeve yet BUT I registered at the hosp yes2day & they gave me a packet. So for soft foods it says 2-4 oz of soft-cooked foods every 3-4 hrs such as: fish/seafood/eggs oe egg substitute, the packet from the doc says,Pimento cheese/cooked veggies/overcooked pasta/oatmeal/ground meats with gravy or broth/& low fat casseroles. I hope that helps. Im on the 7th day of my liquid diet & I would KILL 2 have some soft fish, I will almost take some raw fish at this point...lol

Also, canned fruits like peaches and pears. Refried Beans were my go to along with Protein spiked pudding!

I still remember my first bite of refried beans, oh so good!

anything that is tender, soft, and moist. There are some great answers on here.

All these previous posts are helpful..I'll just add a couple extra thoughts I didn't see mentioned..canned chili of which there are many varieties..with a dollop of light sour cream..deviled ham and/or chicken..hard boiled egg salad chopped to oblivion with light mayo..cream of wheat..grits..

I am on week 3 and doing the soft foods. I get hungry right before bedtime. Does this happen to y'all? I just ate grits and I'm wondering if some of this is just head hunger:(

Yes, it happens to me. So I try to eat breakfast and lunch a little later in the day and taking small shakes in between so that I can eat dinner and have a shake before bed if I really need to.

My nut said late night protein is good. It keeps you metabolism working later

I get hungry all day a couple hours after eating..at night before bed the hunger is strong. I eat my gummy vitamins which help lol :-) a popsicle which is 25 calories or a wedge of laughing cow cheese at 35 calories. Someone on this site advised me that if you're hungry and you're gonna eat try to stick to protein. Grits are carbs..you get hungry soon after eating it.

Hummus' date=' avocado, scrambled eggs with cheese, baby bell cheese or laughing cow wedges, egg salad, moist fish, canned chicken...
