My nutritionist says yes- it is okay but right after surgery you want to stick with the softest tofu you can find.

Absolutely--But you may want to eat it with peanut butter or a second source of plant protein to get a complete protein. Whole grains, nuts, or dairy would be a suitable supplement to be consumed with the tofu. By itself, it is incomplete and the body would simply convert the protein to energy to store later or to use at that time. You would not get the full benefit of the protein.
