I pureed most any protein (and cooked veggies or beans) in a broth or stock...You want to slowly introduce new foods so you learn which ones you can and cannot tolerate immediately... One day you might not be able to eat chicken and the next day you will...Then next month you won't again! Eventually I was able to tolerate all foods again...Some only in moderation...but that's a good thing! To veggie soup add unflavored protein powder/lentils/cooked soy/finely pureed meat. Soft proteins like eggs and yogurt and cottage cheese I was eating in the hospital Day 1...Eggs did bother me though for the first year and then some! It was the egg yolk (cholesterol) I think. I did well with egg beater though...I eat eggs no trouble years PO...Also I became lactose intolerant soon after RNY (another reason to slowly introduce new foods so you do not get very ill on several items and you'll know which foods you need to try again another day, week, or next year!! Good luck!

I am a day further out than you, and I can eat soft foods that don't have to be pureed. I eat cottage cheese, apple sauce, yogurt, chili, ground turkey, egg beaters, ff cheese, cheese sticks, soft vegetables, applesauce, pita bread, crispbread, tuna, salmon. Just make sure you chew really well before you swallow! Hope this helps.
