1 week post op soft diet.. what do i eat?

i just had the laparoscopic rny... i am 1.5 weeks post op... what do I eat? i'm already tired of soup and pudding.. if someone has something good out there.. let me know.. i just want variety.. and i'm not smart enough to think of anything... i would appreciate any posts you can give me.

I have the typical food stages with suggestions for each posted here: freepgs.com/bariatricbytes/Food_Stages.html that may give you some ideas within your doctors eating protocols. Good luck!

Jill, I found that refried beans, especially those from the can, are good, the ones from Taco Bell are good, but you will need to use a napkin or something to soak up the fat off the top. I also ate soft fruits in a can, like peaches, pears, etc. I am a sweets freak, so I needed that taste. If you use a processor, one of the small cup size is best, tuna fish with mayo, fat free, and just a little pickle relish juice is tastey as well. Cream potatoes are good, go ahead and add the seasonings, salt, pepper, etc. I was afraid of seasonings but once I tried them and had no problem, that really made a difference. I had to stay away from maccoroni & cheese, and any kind of pasta, don't know why, my stomach just didn't like them, even though they were soft. The best advice I can give is just experiment, get your book out and try some of the things you would normally stay away from and doctor up the stuff you like. I also found that cream potatoes from KFC were pretty good. Good luck, it only gets better and better. Hugs, Charlotte

thank you so much.. i feel like i'm eating the same things over and over... i appreciate your response.

You can buy canned fat free refried beans. My favorite thing was bean soup. Recipe: 1 can FF refried beans 1 6 oz can hot and spicy V8 juice 8 oz velveeta light cheese Toss in a blender. Divide into 2 oz portions (I used yogurt containers). Heat and eat! The hot & spicy V8 gave it some kick. My pouch still likes mexican food! (I also ate lots of SF yogurt) Joy
