I start soft foods stage next week and was wondering if anyone cares to share some soft food recipes with me? I have been researching and it seems very limited. Thank you in advance. ????

I start soft foods in 2 weeks .I just went on Amazon and purchased

"Eating well after weight loss surgery "in paperback

"Weight loss surgery cookbook for Dummies"

"The everything post surgery cookbook"

All in paper back or kindle.These are just a few of many informative,wonderful WLS cookbooks out there.

Generally there are three stages right after RNY gastric bypass surgery. These are full liquid, puree, solids. So when you say soft foods I suspect that you are referring to the puree stage, which are foods with the consistency of baby food. In this stage meats should be pureed in a blender or food processor.

The full liquid and puree stages were so short, I do not even remember what I ate. And the meal volume was so small, it was hard to even call it a meal.

But as you approach the solid stage, recipes and approaches may become important. I found that softer meals went down much easier than hard meals. Softer meals were meals like chili and Soups. Harder meals were like steaks. I also found that mixing food groups together added flavor back into my meals. So the approach that I took was to eat softer meals, ones that I made from scratch. This allowed me to fortify the meals with extra Protein. Generally my chili and soups had twice the protein than those purchase in cans from the grocery store. At the end of this article, I provided some recipes in case you wish to try this approach. http://www.breadandbutterscience.com/Surgery.pdf
