Soft food ideas?

Hello Cali Friends

I unoffically saw my dr today during my hubbys preop and he told me I could start introducing soft foods into my diet, so im looking for things to start off with, I know you start with what you could tolerate pureed, so chicken is a must, LOL any ideas would be great refried beans are getting a little old and i cant get them spicy enough anymore! LOL

My first dish of 'food' was ricotta cheese w/spaghetti sauce mixed in, heated and parm cheese sprinkled on top... HEAVEN!!  But that is more of a puree dish - for soft - I would go quiche, or custard...

I ate lots of yogurt (Trader Joes vanilla greek with fresh strawberries and/or rasberries) watermelon, puddings and jellos, cheese, oatmeal, cream of wheat, grits, applesauce, soft coked veggies like carrots, zucchini, califlour (sp?). The RNY board has lots of people who can advise you on what to eat and they have lots of recipes to share. Don't forget your protein shakes/drinks whatever and your vitamins. so important!
good luck!

I enjoyed applesauce, very soft flaked tilapia and tuna salad. Although salty, the develed meats were good (I also like liverwurst), ricotta and any mashed fruit with a little sugarfree vanilla syrup was devine!  Creme of wheat and oatmeal with vanilla soy milk was good.  To keep my potties going I enjoyed baby food prunes!
Enjoy

I ate tuna, talapia, string cheese, zucchini with Parmesan cheese baked (yummy), chili, yogurt and sugar free pudding.

Thank you everyone for your ideas, Im going to try the ricotta and sauce first, my dr didnt allow cheese till soft food, What kind of sauce does everyone use??? I looked at many sauces and they were all high in sugar.
