Good afternoon, I'm 3wks post opt and I scared to eat bc I'm afraid of throwing up. I don't know what to eat. I should be on soft foods but I'm not having any luck. I'm sticking to soups and my protein shakes for now but I'm suppose to be eating soft foods. Any suggestion on where I should start on soft foods.

If you're cleared for soft foods, take a leap of faith and start. Yogurt, eggs, mashed black beans, etc. I'm sure you'll be fine. Seems like you'll need to get over psyche-ing yourself out first. You can do it!

I'm on soft foods too and was nervous and have had no problems at all. I've had scrambled eggs, chicken, lean ground beef, cheese, deli meat, etc.

Try fat free refried beans, add some cheese if you like.

That'll probably be one of my first soft foods. I love it.

Me too. Will probably have them without the cheese. Already bought 3 cans of the Old el Paso fat free ones. They get good reviews online.

Is peanut butter soft food, and hummus? I will be on soft food next week.

cdkidci there's peanut butter powder and chocolate peanut butter powder. Some one in my old Weight Watcher's class told me about it. It's fat free and has lots of protein. I like the PB2 brand which can be found in most grocery stores. You mix the powder with water so you can make it as thick or thin as you like.

I started with a scrambled egg and cheese during the pureed stage. I start soft foods for four weeks tomorrow. Can't wait to not have to blend everything!

I'm in soft solids stage , are we allowed deli meat rolled with Swiss cheese or American cheese n light mayo? Are we allowed pickles yet?

easy one - potato, baked or sweet, just the meat of the spud, mash it, a very little butter, S&P to taste - make you full very quick and very easy to eat. I am in the 3rd week and on mush also. Scrambled eggs work for me. I have also nibbled on some solid foods, but chew, chew and then chew some more until its a fine mash - then chew one more time.... small amounts.
