So I'm just about to come off pureed onto soft food. I'm nervous of being sick so if anyone knows anything to deffo avoid or recommend things that are good to have then please let me know! Thanks

Just take your time with the transition and do not move onto soft food if you do not feel ready. It took me quite awhile to transition over. Make sure all the food soft and not dry.

Ok great thanks. I was just going to try a bit in the evening and stick to yogurt for Breakfast and Soup for lunch. I don't want to change everything all at once

Yogurt was definitely one of the easiest things for me! I had a tough time with scrambled eggs (still do at 8 weeks out). I love pea Soup so that was pretty easy (no chunks)! Good luck and like Oct517 said, take it slow!

I was so looking forward to some eggs but a few people have said they've struggled with them.

I will, thank you for the advice

eggs were pretty easy for me. One of my go to is ricotta bake (just google eggface ricotta bake). Really good. I add some sauteed and pureed spinach. I also really do well with tilapia - just need to find more ways to cook it!

I keep the individually packaged frozen tilapia fillets in the freezer. I like to poach them in a little simmering Water with lemon slices and some pepper. Comes out very soft and tasty and quick, too!

My go-to on the soft food phase (and still) is oatmeal.

I do too. Although each fillet is 6oz and all I can eat is 2, so that’s a bit inconvenient. I’ve tried to chop them frozen with a cleaver, but that makes a mess. :). So quick to cook. Made a great tilapia the other day. Bariatric Foodie’s tilapia with fire roasted Tomato sauce (minus the asparagus) - so good!!!

Fortunately, I give my left-over tilapia to hubby who makes a fish taco out of it.
