I had surgery on 10/02/13 and my dr told me today that I could start soft foods but to stay away from carbs. I'm just looking for of ideas what to eat other than eggs??!!

I was told a soft food is anything easily mashed with a fork.

I will be honest, your choices are a bit limited on soft food if you can't have carbs. Chili would be a good one. Refried Beans, too. Tuna fish. chicken salad.

chili was the best meal ever. i got it without beans. i licked the cup even. lol... also any low fat creamy soups. sugar free puddings i also used a blender and blended cooked vegetables. bananas, mangos, just take off the peels on fruits.

Deli turkey is soft.

i ate anything but beef once i blended it.

Chili was my fav.

Humus

tuna

ground turkey but spice it up a bit or make it into a sloppy joe with sauce

fish not shell fish tho

good luck

Not sure if i erased my post. If i didn't sorry for duplicate.

Chili was my favorite.

Hummus

tuna fish

fish- not shell fish

ground turkey but spice it up cause it is bland.

made sloppy joes out of the turkey with sauce\

Basically i ate anything that i could blend even veggies but didn't eat beef.

I liked making omelets. I even got creative with them. Just think of your regular meals, and omit the carb. It does get easier. You can look online for carb free meals. Meatloaf was another good one. We barely put filler in it. Cottage cheese was good too. The soft stage doesn't last too long. Good luck

Thank you so much! All great advice!

I've enjoyed egg salad, tuna salad, meatloaf, meatballs made with turkey and Italian sausage, I would eat taco meat (no shell) with some taco cheese on top, sloppy joe meat. I am not allowed to have carbs either, but have managed to do just fine with these options. I've also had hard boiled eggs, and I have enjoyed 2 bowls of chil as well. I am finally able to start regular food today.
