Soft protein

Surgery date is 4/8! I'm starting to get really nervous. One of my biggest concerns is the four weeks of soft protein. I don't cook. I'm picky. Where are the best resources for building up my recipe list for this time? Thanks for any help!

Why don't you cook? What are your areas of pickiness? Your answers will help us give the best advice!

There are tons of ideas on Pinterest. Some involve minimal "cooking."

You could keep it really simple and just get really good at making bone broth. Fill your freezer with it now and you will be good to go with protein and fluids while healing.

Bone broth is primarily collagen and lacks a complete amino acid profile. It is not a replacement for a high quality whey protein shake nor whole food protein sources.

Eggface website has lots of ideas - i ate alot of ricotta cheese with spaghetti sauce. It was delicious, or yogurt. Your doctor's office should give you some guidelines.

I agree with mmsmom, World According to Eggface is an excellent site for easy soft protein ideas. I used a lot of eggs, Greek yogurt, Protein Shakes(Premier ready made and unflavored whey protein) and very moist fish like Swai and Cod. Your WLS clinic will give you their guidelines and ideas.
