I am on phase 2 after surgery, soft food diet. I am going shopping for the things I need and I need ideas on what works during this phase. Food wise. And go....

I really loved ricotta with seasoning, egg with mayo, broiled tilapia, canned chicken with mayo. 1 scrambled egg with Italian herb seasoning and 1tsp of ricotta. I miss my soups but this is better protein. I could only get about four spoons in. Recently I've gone up to 5. I am not a fan of yogurt or Greek yogurt, but I tried.

chicken salad, tuna salad, egg salad?

I'm on soft foods right now. Here are the things I've been eating:

Meatballs with marinara

Baked salmon

Shrimp (GREAT source of protein!)

Deli meat and cheese rollups

Deviled eggs with string cheese

Chili (homemade and Wendy's)

Trader Joe's BBQ chicken Teriyaki

Trader Joe's Shiitake Mushroom Chicken

Chipotle Burrito Bowl (no rice)

Qdoba Burrito Bowl (no rice)

I just started my soft foods yesterday. I was so excited. Today for lunch, I had a scoop of refried beans, a little shredded cheese and a few cubes of chicken (I bought pre cooked) I heated up in the microwave for a few seconds...it was delish.

Tonight I had a piece of flounder with fresh herbs and a bite or two of hummus!

Hope this helps!

Try any soup and add Unjury unflavored protein powder.

It all sounds really good! Mrsroboto....you can really eat all of that in a soft diet? That's awesome! What about any ideas on pureed food?

Yes, those are all soft foods. Take small bites and chew to mush.

For purées I did stuff like cottage cheese, greek yogurt, refried Beans, tuna, ricotta with marinara, scrambled eggs.

Thank you

I didn't get to have any of this until 4 weeks (I'm 5 1/2 now). Weeks 2-4 were purées and there was no meat allowed. At 6 weeks I'll be cleared for all foods. I'm looking forward to trying a salad!

The Wendy's chili and the chipotle off that list were two of my favorite go to's when I was at the soft stage!

I get two meals from a small Wendy's chili and four meals from a Chipotle burrito bowl!

Anyone know serving size and protein and calorie count on Wendy's chili?
