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

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
