Hi all I was banded on 30th Sept ... I'm on soft foods ... Any new lunch ideas I can take to work next week please... Sick of scrambled egg, cottage pie etc ....

A twist on scrambled eggs is to make egg salad. I used to love it at that phase. I made it with Hellman's low fat mayo. If you're able to eat tuna fish at this phase, you can make tuna salad with the low fat mayo, and it's easy to bring to work. I also made a small baked potato & put cottage cheese or melted cheese on it. Refried Beans with a bit of melted cheese was great. There are a lot of soft mushy things to eat.....you just have to find things that you like, and things that your band likes

Good luck.....

Refried beans were so good for me.. also I ate chicken salad (made sure it was smooth) egg salad is a great idea and good protein...

My go-to meal in that phase was either canned chicken, tuna or salmon (chopped up fine if it wasn't already) and mixed that with part of an avocado. Add in a little salt, pepper and ground mustard for a little zip and that would fill me up and be a great source of Protein.
