Soft food.

[521Diva 91]

GM, I start soft food Friday, any suggestions?

I struggle with Breakfast since I dont eat bananas, eggs (only boiled), oatmeal, grits, no hot Cereal. :-(

I also need some lunch & dinner suggestions.

Thanks inadvance.

Breakfast-

VSG Peanut Butter Cup Protein Shake 4-5 grams sugar, no carbs, lots of protein! (Gastric Sleeve, R&Y, Lapband full liquid diet friendly!) -2 scoops of Isopure Dutch chocolate -1 tablespoon PB2/powdered peanut butter -12 oz water/ 8 oz almond milk/skim milk for a richer taste

Lunch-

Crab salad - with a squeeze of lime and a dab of mayo, chopped avocado
Chicken salad - with dill or curry powder or a little pesto sauce
Tuna salad - with cannelini Beans, a squeeze of lemon juice or Italian dressing.
Egg salad - with curry or dill.

Dinner-Baked Ricotta

8 oz of Ricotta Cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
1 large Egg, beaten
1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
salt & pepper to taste
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce
1/2 cup shredded Mozzarella Cheese

Mix ricotta cheese, parmesan, beaten egg, seasonings together and place in a oven proof dish. Pour marinara on top and top with mozzarella cheese. Bake it in the oven @ 450 for about 20-25 minutes (best) or nuke it till hot and bubbly. I usually made it first in the oven and heated the leftovers in the microwave

I have yogurt or cottage cheese (with a little SF Polaner jam) in the morning because I have meds to take. Our surgeon gave us great advice, do not eat 3 meals a day. Only eat when we are hungry. I cannot tell you how well this works for us. I keep the foods on hand we like. Depends on where you are following your surgery, you may not be able to eat the salads just yet. I had an episode of choking on a piece of soft chicken 5 weeks post op surgery so backed off the crockpot chicken I had looked forward to. You need to look at your meal plan and start mixing and matching things. Refried Beans are a soft food and you can melt a little Laughing Cow cheese on top. When allowed pureed foods, I made a lowfat chili and it was the first food I tasted that was yummy! We still eat our Soups, and avocado is a soft food also. Good luck.
