I’m on my soft food phase and going back to work this Monday after 6 weeks off . I work 10 hours a day with two 15 min breaks and one 30 min lunch . How do you guys prepare your lunches for work ? And what do you make for lunch ?

Invest in some microwave safe air tight containers to eat out of. Put your Protein in one, veges in the other, prepare meals everyday

For soft food stage, I did:

Puréed Beans (black or pinto). If you add a bit of cheese for the last 5seconds or so in the microwave, it’s great. And if you can tolerate it, eat with a bit of mild salsa or guac

Puréed egg salad. 2 eggs puréed with 1tbl each of mayo and Greek yogurt

Ricotta bake (google eggface ricotta bake). Sometimes I add a layer of puréed spinach.

I’m on liquid diet. However for the soft diet I am planning to pack Protein Shakes and smoothies, puddings and Soups Protein enhanced. I hope that you can have an wok environment that allows you to seep often. Good luck and remember that you are the only person that will take care of you and make that your priority.

If you're on soft foods you don't need pureed food. There are plenty of things you can eat. Yogurt, small curd cottage cheese, refried Beans, blended Soups, eggs, mashed bananas, apple sauce, humus, avocado, smoothies, tuna fish, oatmeal, cream of wheat, cooked vegetables, baked beans, guacamole, baked potato, sugar free pudding. The list is endless you just have to be creative.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
