I just started on soft and find that I don't like eggs any more and I'm tired of eating chicken.

Tuna fish? Cottage cheese? Crabcakes? Any soft flaky fish? Yogurt? Babybell cheese? Laughing Cow cheese?

I agree, not a wide range of options, but there are things out there. Check out http://theworldaccordingtoeggface.blogspot.com/ for lots of recipes, or just do a search here for "soft foods" - there are people who cook (not me!) who have good recipes.

Good luck and welcome!

Thanks is crazy how my taste buds have changed. And then when I do eat is not a lot so I'm not getting all of my protein so I feel tired sometimes.

I know, I really lost my taste for sweet shakes for the first couple of months after surgery. Sadly, that sweet tooth seems to be returning!

But there are lots of different Protein shake options out there and most of the online vendors will let you order sample packs to try different varieties/flavors to see what works for you now. Since you can't eat enough to get in all the protein you need, you definitely need to supplement with shakes.

Make sure you are not consuming artificial sweeteners like Splenda. They make you crave sugar and starch. Using will make you gain weight.

Unless you have proof that artificial sweeteners make you gain weight what you've said is just your opinion. I've used artificial sweeteners of many types since surgery, does the weight loss in my ticker below look like I've gained any weight?

I just started on soft foods today and was also looking for something a little different. I found a recipe in Cooking Light that turned out to be delicious, very soft, able to mush it with a fork. I dont have the direct link to the site but you can Google it and it comes right up. It is called 'Diner Meat Loaf Muffins' from Cooking Light. The nutrition facts are good and the serving size is 2 muffins. Of course I could only eat 1 and made each of my muffins between 2 and 3 ounces. I hope you enjoy this recipe, let me know what you think!
