According to my doctor I can start soft foods when I hit my two week mark which is this coming Thursday. I'm so excited to taste real food again and to chew lol. What are some of your favorite soft food meals and snacks ?

Beans, especially in the light Progresso soups. I didn't snack much but I'd have low fat shredded cheese.

I'm actually looking forward to beans. I really like refried beans, white bean,and black eyed peas. The only thing is, in my culture we use smoked meats to season the beans. So the white beans and black eyed peas may not be an option. Thank you for sharing ?

Can you eat any cheese you want ? I love Monterey , cheddar, and provolone.

Yes I can eat any I want. My pouch loves cheese!

Beans and cheese have been the easiest for me. I like adding salsa and avacodo to my beans also.

Yummy . I love avocado

So exciting!@lmichelle310, where is your family from? I ask because I'm Brazilian and we also use smoked meats to season our beans. My mom (who is awesome and has been cooking for me during the VSG process) adapted her recipes and I found that her vegetarian beans still tasted delicious (I'm still in liquids for another week but she makes a mean bean soup with it).

One thing I struggle with being from a different culture is not knowing which of the foods I eat will be allowed going forward since my dr's team has no idea what they are. Do you have that problem?

We're surgery buddies I also had my bypass done on 7/27/17 my doctor says it's ok to try soft foods now I tried eggs this morning and I don't think my body is ready so I'll try again next week.

My parents are from America my mom is from Oklahoma and my dad is from Florida. I haven't spoke to my dietician yet so I've been going on the knowledge my mother an I already have about food and listening to my body. I know it's going to be a challenge trying to transform soul food into healthy eating cause everything is so rich and fatty
