September 4, 201510 yr 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.
September 4, 201510 yr 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)
September 4, 201510 yr 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!

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!
September 4, 201510 yr 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!
