I start that stage on Wednesday. I was at Sam's tonight torturing myself in the food section, and found a pimiento cheese spread made from gouda cheese! Only 8 grams fat and no carbs. It should be perfect as soft food!

Think of it as what soft foods you’d feed a baby. Mince, eggs, oatmeal, mushed tinned fish, stewed meats. Thin out with small amounts of salt reduced stocks, watered down gravies, ...

Take it easy. What works for some may not work for you. You’ll be on solid foods before you know it.

Baby oatmeal with a touch of Splenda and a dash of cinnamon (if It doesn't irritate your tummy). Or cooked oatmeal spun in a blender or mini chopper with some milk or Water until smooth.

I've had much luck with canned chicken. The chicken has enough broth in the can that you can spin it in the blender until it's soft.

Things like yogurt, eggs, cottage cheese, ground meat and creamed Soups are on my plan.

I would think twice about oatmeal since that is a high carb food best saved for maintenance imho.

I was surprised originally by the oatmeal when it was on my Dr’s post surgical meal plan but it said to make it on milk (if tolerated) which adds extra Protein. I guess because you can only eat a couple of teaspoonfuls at a time and the fibre helps with the bms it was allowed on my plan. It still takes me four days to eat a a bowl using a sachet lol.

Same! My doc also recommended Cream of Wheat, which was yuk, but it was the only thing I tolerated. But then the tiny cups of smooth baby oatmeal were bliss.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
