I'm not sure how you are with dairy, but what about cottage cheese, yogurt,
string cheese? Soy nuts? Tofu? I guess every doctor is difernt, but you
need to be careful of your tummy, it's still healing that's why drinking
your protein is important this early in the stage. Baby steps.... best of
luck to you..aims

Becky~For soft foods I did a lot of eggsalad, tuna salad, I'd take chicken
breast (cooked of course) add a little mayo and a bit of onion and blend it
in the blender and eat it like tuna and eggsalad, string cheese is great,
so is brick cheese, vienna sausages are ok on occasion for something
different and so is that potted meat. Let me know if I can be of further
help. Hugs and you are doing great! Don't worry.

At this stage, refried beans are good (especially with a little melted
cheese in them); also, cottage cheese, or ricotta cheese.

Eggs are a good source of protein. You can cook them in so many different
ways. I did alot of chicken. I boiled the dark meat of chicken ( thighs
and legs), and the meat comes out very tender, then finish fixing it anyway
you like chiken. Hamburger meat, make taco meat, then add some cheese to
it. Need to be creative in everything. Good luck.

Hi Becky,
You can purchase the drink Isopure-zero carb 20oz and get 40 protein grams
while sipping it through the day.. It comes in several flavors that taste
like Koolaid and gatoraid mixed. Good Luck . . . Michele :)

Check out my website. It has lots of food tips. Personally, I don't use
protein shakes or bars much. I prefer real food. As long as you are
getting 75-100 grams of protein a day you're doing OK. That takes a while.

Tofu and beans. I could not eat meat for months so I had no choice!
