ok - so next week I start on soft foods.

I need help and suggestions on what I can eat. All the info I have from the clinic just says soft foods like eggss and yellow veggies.

I could call the dietitian but last time I talked to her, she was useless.

I think the experts are you guys.

thanks,

Here is the list from my nutritionist:

yogurt

tuna salad, blenderized

soft scrambled eggs

egg salad

cottage cheese

chicken with gravy, blenderized

pudding

Soups, blenderized (no noodles or pasta)

peach, banana, blenderized

chicken stew (no potato) peas, carrot, blenderized

string cheese

refried Beans (non-fat), blenderized

ricotta cheese

hummus

applesauce

salsa, blenderized

Okay, now I am getting hungry! Hope that helps. You can also look at the recipes on this site or bariatriceating.com has some recipes for each stage also.

I still have two weeks of full liquids ahead of me!

Let me know what you come up with!

I ate a lot of chicken salad, just chicken with mayo, no celery. Mine said mayo or gravy.

My list is very similar to KRTORK

Protein:

• use moist heat to cook, such as boiling, steaming, and stewing
  
• tuna packed in Water
  
• canned chicken
  
• white fish
  
• non-fat or low fat refried bean
  
• eggs/eggbeaters
  
• low fat cottage cheese
  
• string cheese, or any WHITE cheese
  
• low fat yogurt
  

Veggies

• must be overcooked, mushy vegetables
  
• try broccoli, cauliflower, zucchini, summer squash and carrots
  
• avoid raw vegetables
  

Fruits

• mushy fruits such as bananas, canned fruit in its own juice (avoid canned fruit in syrup)
  
• avoid the skin on fruit
  
• watch out for seeds
  
• some citrus may not be tolerated, ex...grapefruit, oranges and pineapples
  

Carbs

• avoid carbs or starch vegetables
  

Hopefully all the info you get will be helpful.

This is just what I got from my dr's office, I am sure there is more!!
