7-Weeks out...What should I eat?

I am 7 weeks out and feeling great. I have lost 45 lbs so far. I am now suppose to be on the "soft diet" but I'm really not sure what to eat. During the blended phase I survived on protien shakes, eggbeaters and blended Chilli. Now I have been doing the same but have added fish fillets, cottage cheese, string cheese. I have also had some toast and crunched on some Total Protein Cereal. What else do you recommend. These are starting to get old. I tried a lean cuizine cheese lasagna but couldn't really tolerate the pasta. I really haven't been eating too much apple sauce, SF pudding, etc since I have to get protien when ever I can. It is really hard to get the required 80-90 that my doc wants me to get. Thanks for all your help.....I am enjoying lurking in the forums. http://www.buttry.net/wls-blog/ Doug

how about refried beans, cheese and sour cream? I know someone had suggested that before. salmon patties? I usually add egg and crunched up crackers, cook it in olive oil. or bake in the oven. I'm still pre-op so I dont have alot of advice to give. If you go to the main forum, I'm sure you could get tons of help there too. That weight loss is awesome! Congrats!

doug, Try making the SF pudding and then adding a scoop of your protein powder to a serving.. I used to do that a lot (also with the apple sauce) Stef
