Soft foods

[desertmom]

Can everyone please tell me
1. What you ate as soft foods?
2. How often did you eat?
3. How much did you eat?

I am worried that I can eat too much and that i will eat too often.I need just a little bit of guidance here,please!

Thanks for the help.

I had my surgery the day before you, March 12. The nutrition sheet I'm going off of says I can have canned fruit, tuna/chicken/seafood salad, mashed or baked potato (no skin yet though) and scrambled eggs. My doctor actually approved me to start the soft food diet a couple of days early, so I just try to eat a small amount of food 3x a day and have a protein shake or a light yogurt for a snack. I still drink plenty of water throughout the day. I have not been hungry since the surgery and sometimes I forget to eat if I lose track of time.

About the most you will probably be able to eat will be 4 or 5 bites of tuna/chicken/seafood salad and a bite or two of soft fruit.

My nutritionist has me eating 5 times a day. I eat greek yogurt, cottage cheese, mashed potatoes, pumpkin, green banana, outmeal, cream of wheat, chicken, fish, egg whites... I think that's it.
