I'm 3 weeks post op and started my soft foods diet. Does anyone have any ideas of meals or tips? I have also stopped loosing any weight this week and I'm worried that it's because I started eating real food again instead of liquids. thanks for any tips or advice!!

Im on day 2 of purees and gained almost a pound. I am still not getting 500 calories a day in though I am only able to get down about 250 a day....but all pure protein. I just made some scrambled eggs and added cottage cheese and it is Awesome!! I also pureed some tuna with some light mayo and a little relish and had that for lunch and dinner and it was really good. I am going to do it again today and add some boiled egg to add the protein. I think I stopped losing and gained because my calorie count it too low so I am just focusing on whatever i can puree up that adds some good protein filled calories today and see what the results are. My life is revolving around eating and drinking........

what a good idea with eggs and cottage cheese! I'm trying that for breakfast today! I completely understand, my life and thoughts are filled with eating/thinking about what to eat and drinking. ugh

Tonight I pan grilled thin sliced chicken and I made a "stuffing" of cream cheese, grated cheese and green onions. I stuffed the chicken for the rest of the family and then took 1/4 of one breast and put it in the mini chopper with the stuffing. Soooo yummy!!

I'm on week 1 of pureed food. After a month of liquids it's like heaven! I have done chicken breast and cut up fine, putting in baggies with broth marked 1 1/2 TBL. That way I can reheat easily no matter what hubs is eating. Last night added a little bit of sliced carrot and apple ??. I don't know what was the best. I've done fish sticks, removing crumbs and it was wonderful. I did not get do well with eggs, so cottage cheese is my go to at the moment for breakfast.
