I am so excited to have my first soft foods tomorrow!!

The last two days I've been in total countdown mode. I can't wait to chew on something..besides a damn popsicle!!

My favorite soft foods meal was meatballs with homemade sauce. I seasoned the meatball the way I always do: salt, pepper, lots of fresh garlic, parsley, egg, parmesan cheese, a little bit of bread crumbs. I also let my sauce simmer for a long time in order to get the most flavor. I would measure the meatballs to be exactly 1 oz. I would also just make sure that I could mash the meatballs with a fork and douse it with sauce. It was the best thing for me at that time! It was packed with protein and easy on my stomach. Also, some people make a ricotta bake. Which is ricotta cheese with sauce and baked in the oven for a few minutes.

Is the "pre op" a mistake? Did u mean post op? I dreamed about my first soft food for 4 wks (I live with the food nazi and I knew he'd tattle on me to my dr if I cheated even 1 day early). Went grocery shopping and had everything I needed for the big event. I microwaved 1/4 cup refried Beans topped with a pinch of shredded sharp cheddar, taco sauce with a little dollup of sour cream. Best thing Id ever eaten.

The following 4 wks I ate alot of eggs, mashed pots, canned tuna and chicken, tilapia, beans, and cheese. After that 4 wks of aoft foods I enjoyed my 1st salad. Wow. Was it yummy...

the day i got home from the hospital i wanted tuna fish so bad. so that was the first thing i had. half a can of tuna with light mayo and a TON of garlic powder. mmm. it was heaven! haha!
