I would check with my doctor & my dietian; Every one's response to soft foods may be different; my go to's have been cottage cheese and yogurts (plain, or sugar free fruit.) I will tell you that anything you choose check the labels; 5-10-15 rule: fat no more than 5 grams of fat, try to find foods with 10 grams or less of sugar, (prevents dumping) 15-20 grams or less of carbs. That has helped me so far. (Down 50 lbs from 265lbs) I had my surgery in April 2015. Good Luck!

Hi All! 

I am brand new to this site and tomorrow makes 1 month post op. I have already started the soft foods phase but I feel I am failing miserably! On a good day I am averaging about 540-600 calories but It is extremely hard to drink enough water and also difficult to eat and make sure that what I am eating is protein rich. In the morning I have been doing a Premier Protein shake and adding 1/2 cup Vanilla Soy milk which helps gives me a decent initial boost in protein but going downhill from there. 

I say all that to say this...I am tired of eating soups and I know that I can begin to experiment a bit more in this phase, I enjoy all types of fish and ground meats are fine as well (preferably turkey or chicken) I just want to find something that tastes good, has a decent amount of protein and won't kill me to eat. Any help is appreciated and I thank you all in advance! 

Thanks! 

That recipe has literally been my savior during my mushy phase! I make it once a week and have it for lunch or dinner at least 4 times a week!

sounds great the bean sprouts are a nice touch
