I was just curious what kinds of foods are on the soft food diet? I see my nutritionist tomorrow to get the new diet but my curiosity is killing me Haha

My first night on the soft food diet I made a pot roast and it was delicious. I was told you can eat anything soft. So soft cooked meats, veggies, eggs, yogurt. I have had chili, baked beans, brisket etc. I was told also no hard foods: chips, crackers, popcorn, nuts, and any tough meats. Anything crunchy. Hope this helps!

Sous Vide anything can be soft if you cook it right = My view is shellfish, fish, and pulled pork or chicken

What do you do with shrimp? I bought some but not sure what to do with it.

pan-cook them with some lemon pepper and extra virgin olive oil (no more than a tbsp.). A squeeze of lemon overtop works well.

My guideline is anything that can be mashed with a fork. I can have meat, preferably shredded or ground, and no steak (which is ok, I never was a steak person). I will say, I had fajitas with some super soft chicken but that caused some wicked pain despite chewing it very well. I've been really enjoying chili as well, it's my go to if I'm caught out of the house for a long time without food. I was also told I can have triscuits, ritz chips, and wheat thins as well but I've been eating quest protein chips which are softer than the aforementioned items. I never really ate a lot of crunchy stuff before surgery so what I'm eating now is pretty much what I ate before surgery. I can also eat cold cereal so long as it's softened with milk first.

Eggs, chili and ground cooked meats have been my go to so far.
