I'm starting my soft food stage this weekend. The menu I was given says I can have poached salmon, scrambled eggs, yogurt and cottage cheese. These are all things I can't really eat without getting nauseous. I was wondering if you could give me suggestions of what else I could eat that is soft, even if it is carbs. I know I don't need these things, and once I'm on my regular diet and can eat whatever, I have a strict meal plan and gym plan for myself, but for now, I'm just trying to get by and keep things in my stomach. Any help would be appreciated.

Mashed potatoes with Protein powder mixed in is probably your best bet. It's easy on the system and with the Protein Powder you are getting your nutrition. Use non-flavored or chicken Soup flavored. Expect to not be able to eat much. the road to solid food is not easy, do your best, it will end.

When I was on soft foods, I did some canned mashed chicken and whipped it up with a little lowfat mayo to make chicken salad. Ate that quite a bit during the pureed and soft food stage. You really need to get that Protein in, so the suggestion of doing the mashed potatoes with unflavored protein powder was good. You could also do sweet potatoes or lowfat or nonfat refried Beans. And you can add the protein powder to those too.

Just remember to try to get some protein through chicken or another kind of fish if the salmon isn't working out for you. Maybe tuna or tilapia. Protein is way important and you don't want to get too many carbs, or it might stifle your weight loss.

Tuna salad, chicken salad, deli turkey, ground beef scrambled egg, cheese, refried beans, canned fruit, well cooked veggies were on my soft food list. Check with your surgeon's office to see if you can have any of that. If not they may have other suggestions.

Any root vegg like potato sweet potato you can put milk and a little bit of butter to soften. meats that are really soft kind of crockpot stuff, things that are soft to chew. banana, yogurt, strawberries thing like that.
