I am at a loss.

On Tuesday, I can start 'soft foods', but it doesn't really explain what soft foods are. Everything it gave as an example looks like pureed.

Can you give me some recipes or what you ate for soft foods?

Can I eat meat now like ground meat/turkey?

I am already eating chicken/fish mashed up.

I guess now I don't have to mash it up/puree it?

Any guidance into this would be amazing!

Thank you in advance!

Soft foods:

scrambled eggs

well cooked shredded chicken or turkey

chili w/ meat (meat replacement) & Beans or

baked or broiled fish.

regular Soup

yogurt w/ fruit

cottage cheese w/ fruit

egg salad

My plan was similar. I could also have banana or canned fruit mashed up, mashed potato or sweet potato, well cooked veggies such as carrots or green Beans, even ground beef.

Following

My team's rule was that soft foods are foods you can easily cut with a fork. However, I was not allowed grains, sweets, or starchy veggies no matter how soft they might be! So no potatoes or oatmeal or anything like that for me.

When did you have your surgery? I just had mine on 9/29 and trying to figure out how to eat(drink) again.

You can make a chili using ground turkey and soft vegetables and beans for extra protein. There a bunch on YouTube that are great. I started with the chili and have been making it regularly.

Just add ground turkey to the above recipe.

Mine was on Sept 16th.

But you should have some guidelines from your Doctor.

Every Doctor is different. Some might want you on full liquids still. Some might let you do pureed, but eat anything you want.

Follow that 'cause I don't wanna give you bad advice.
