Hi There!
If you are in the soft food phase, you basically want to aim for soft protein foods. All the foods you listed are great sources of protein though they don't quite count as "soft". You can always mush them up or puree them with a little chicken broth or vegetable broth to get them nice and soft. You can always do light yogurt (Dannon Light & Fit or Activia yogurt is good), cottage cheese (non at or 1% would be best), tofu, scrambled eggs/soft boiled eggs, and try some blended soups!
Once you're on to solid foods, fish is a great place to start! Turkey meatballs should be nice and soft foods. The key is go very slow, small bites, chew to MUSH, and stop once you feel that "full" sensation. When you start eating, this is likely around only 2 ounces of food.

Aloha!
It's fun being a girly-girl again, isn't it??!! I love "real jeans," skirts and flattering tops, but my ultimate apparel that I would never wear prior to weight loss are sleeve-less things... tops or dresses. While I still don't "love" my arms, I let the sun shine on them again and I'm not embarrassed to let them show!
And, oh! What about the sexy undergarments?! Instead of the industrial strength bras, I love the lacy, fancy, life-is-beautiful bras and undies again!

Hi Viki,
Thanks for the kind words! I do notice that I feel more feminine and that I actually want to wear more feminine clothes. It feels like my head is finally catching up a little because for a awhile there I was living in oversized t-shirts, hoodies, and jeans.
I'll see you Saturday!

feminine and actually WANT to wear a dress. :)
Hope to see you on Saturday!!

Topic: Onederland and new dress.
For the first time in over 20 years I weigh less than 200lbs. I don't know quite what to do with myself! I went shopping with a friend on Saturday and she helped me pick out this dress. (pic in profile page, work computer won't let me copy it here) She said I owe to myself to celebrate. So I bought the dress even though I was not sure that I could pull it off. Now seeing pic I am glad I bought and glad that I stepped out of my comfort zone. So question to everybody, what have you bought or wore post op that you might have never worn pre-op?

Good luck and enjoy.

Hi there!!
For me, I haven't had any problems with food and it seems my pouch can tolerate anything.
I am still trying to lose weight so my food intake is pretty minimal and I eat almost the same things daily. I have made some bad choices but don't go to the extreme.
Morning~
protein shake
If I eat anything it's an egg.
I have cheated a couple of times and had a toasted mini bagel with laughing cow cheese. (unfortunately, that didn't upset my pouch at all)
I've also tried the Special K protein plus cereal. 3/4 cup no milk. (100cal, 14g carbs & 10g protein)
I wouldn't recommend the carbs either. I'm just hard headed.
Lunch~ (1 of the following)
Spinach salad - 1/2-1cup
topped with tuna or egg, tomatoes, cucumbers and viniger dressing
Turkey Meatballs - I use the Jennie-O brand in the bag from Safeway. Italian style.
I'll have 2 meatballs w/Safeway mushroom & onion marinara sauce.
Grilled chicken slices with spinach or brocolli
Ahi Poke - 1/4 lb- I normally just get the plain with hawaiian salt and put some shoyu on it.
Kimchee shrimp - I had this during my soft phase too. The spices didn't bother me at all.
I'll have about 4 medium pieces.
Dinner~
Another shake
I've had Tilapia just baked with Mrs. Dash and lemon.
I've also had the ready made one's from Gorton's Fisherman.
I don't really care to cook so can't help you too much there. I've been trying to get better at that and this is a site that I find has really good recipe's that are WLS friendly.
