Post op phase 3 diet

[slothritis 11]

Hello, I was just wondering what can I eat on the phase 3 "soft food" diet. The nutritional manual isn't very informative on what I could eat.

Well, I would certainly suggest reaching out to your NUT and/or surgeon as they may have specific things to eat and/or not eat during that phase based on your specific progress/situation, but there is a recipe section on this forum that is separated out by phase and there are some good recipes for the soft food phase. The ricotta bake saved me during this phase....

You should be able to find recipes for the phase you're on here --> http://www.bariatricpal.com/forum/1052-recipe-sharing/

When I was on my soft food phase I ate scrambled eggs, cottage cheese, yogurt, string cheese, baked salmon, chicken cooked in cream of chicken Soup (to keep it nice and soft and moist), low carb meatloaf, canned carrots, canned green Beans, mashed sweet potatoes.

I stayed away from pork and beef, because they are too heavy and not soft or easy to chew, with the exception of meatloaf.

I also got my Protein in first and would have only a few bites of the soft vegetables. I didn't fill up on carbs, so when I ate sweet potatoes, it would just be a few bites.
