Hi Jenny,

 Im new to the Cali forum. I recently had the  "Realize" band.  If  you get to eat chili, i'm going to be very jealous...lol  My  authorized,allowed or reccommended   "soft food diet"by my doctor is: eggs,soft cheeses,mashed potatoes,creme of wheat,soft fish(tilipia),tuna and protein shakes.. Sooo boring, but I welcomed anything chewable after that liquid diet.  Good luck on your journey...

my staple--- that I trust the most----chili, or refried beans with a little cheddar on top--- salsa too--- I've been eating this since 2 weeks out---and I still trust it the most----sometimes add some plain fage yougurt ( like sour cream) if I have it...
Also---there is a recipe on eggface's site--- that is baked ricotta with marinara--- really good!
Best wishes,
Lori

I loved cottage cheese. What type of surgery did you have? I had rny and ate cottage cheese, refried beans, applesauce, a soft scrambled egg with a little cheese, mashed potatoes

Hope this helps,

Each surgeon is so different.  I am almost 3 weeks out and my surgeon wants me on 500 calories per day for three months.  What I can eat is cottage cheese, eggs, ground meats, over cooked vegetables, canned fruit in it's own juice and mashed potatoes.

Hope that helps.

Taco Bell pintos and cheese! 

OMG!! I loved them. I felt "normal"..plus I was so amazed I could have two meals on less than a buck...lol

OMG I loved those too! I still get them sometimes, actually, I had it once last week! LOL

Hi Jenny! I am on my third week and doc has me cont. soft food for week three and you got to love those re-fried beans!  My soft foods recommend by my doc was
mashed taters, soups, cottage cheese, cream of wheat, yogurt, applesauce, banana, tofu, peanut butter (be careful with peanut butter high in calories) and eggs.
You should really give your doc a call and ask them to make sure.
Have a great evening
