soft Foods

 Hello my name is Jenny and I started soft foods today and my tummy is not happy with me.   I have not gotten in enough protien for today, but the day is not over yet.  I have eaten 2 to 3 bite of yogurt and the I had 1 scrambled egg with 1 slice of tofu.  what can I do did anybody have this problem when they started soft food.  

I couldn't handle eggs no matter how I cooked them for a while after my surgery (although I had a RNY and I think you said you had a VG?), could be the eggs upsetting your tummy?

Just keep trying things until you figure out what your tummy likes!

Don't worry too much, get in as much protein as you can, a few days of not hitting your protein goals won't kill you, just make sure it's not more than a couple days or so! If you are still having troubles later in the week check in with your surgeons office and ask for some suggestions from them!

Aloha Jen-
Use Greek yogurt ( Trader Joe's NF)- it's got double the protein ( 22 g/cup!)
Cottage cheese
Refried beans
Protein fortified milk ( add 1/4 cup NF dry miilk powder to each cup of NF liquid milk)- you can also use this to make all your soups ( like bean with bacon, or cream of chicken) and SFpuddings.
Good luck- XOLori
