Starting soft stage on Tuesday and not sure what to eat!
So my doctor said to start the soft food diet on Tuesday since it will have been 3 weeks post surgery. They said I could start with eggs, yogurt and cottage cheese. The problem is, I don't like any of that. So what else can I eat? After 3 days of just these basic soft foods, then I can add in soft meats like breakfast sausage, roast, fish and canned chicken. But I'm seriously stumped when I try to figure out what to eat those first 3 days. Need some options please!

Check out this website. She has lots of recipes to try through all the WLS eating phases. I lived on her ricotta bake with marinara sauce. It tastes like lasagna. I also used her "refried" beans recipe with taco sauce. You should be able to eat very soft, steamed, white fish (like tilapia or haddock) if you chew VERY well.

I hated yogurt before surgery, but I decided to give it another go and tried Greek yogurt. It's not quite as sour and I actually like it a bit!
Would you be open to trying eggs with stuff mixed in? You can add a little bit of shredded cheese when you cook them, or add hot sauce.

I like it a lot, it's not so sour and it has a thicker texture. One of my new favorites is to get strawberry Greek yogurt and add PB2 (powdered peanut butter), it comes out a lot like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich!
