Soft foods

I had my 2 week post op today and my doc cleared me to eat soft foods.  What are some things that you like??

I can't do protein shakes, they gag me, so I'm only eating foods high in protein.  Try scrambled eggs, babybel cheese, baked fish, those are my faves

Did you have to do a pre op diet before your surgery?  If so how did you handle the protein shakes during that time.  I am on my 2nd day of my 2 week pre op and I just cant handle the protein shakes.  They make me gag too.

Refried beans, tortilla soup Yum-oh

I like ranch style beans, and you can add some cheese to up the protien count.

Eggs scrambled with salsa, if you add the salsa before you cook the eggs it makes them very soft.

I have used canned meat, chicken or ham and added salsa.

Cottage cheese.  You can flavor it with a little SF jello or pudding pownder.  Good if you want a little sweet.

LoFat  string cheese.

 

 

I am the president of the I hate protein shakes club!!  I really don't understand how people can drink them and even say they like them.  I just shudder at the thought of having to gag one down. 

For soft foods my staples were refried beans with cheese and some taco sauce and scrambled eggs with salsa. 

Honestly it was such a joy to finally eat that I may have eaten about anything. 

Take care!

Thanks, I had a banana first and it was great.  LOL  I just don't wont to get sick of the same stuff over and over again.

chili cooked thoroughly gets pretty musy. It's good and full of protein!
