2+ weeks post-op and looking for soft food suggestions

Posted by cmss @cmss, Dec 5, 2023

Hello! I had gastric bypass surgery on November 17, 2023 and am trying to eat more diverse soft foods. So far I seem to be able to tolerate scrambled eggs, Greek yogurt, Jello, Popsicles, canned peaches, and cream of wheat. Can anyone suggest other tasty (protein-y) soft foods that I might not be thinking of?
Also, I seem to always have a weird taste in my mouth. I'm thinking it is from the chewable Tums and chewable multivitamin. Any suggestions on what would help with that?
And any other tips/tricks from folks who have had this surgery??
Thanks in advance!!!

Hi. I am 2 weeks postop too. I had my surgery on 11/24/23 and am really struggling with finding blended foods to eat. Baby food stage 1 applesauce and prune applesauce works for me and the protein shakes. But I would love more ideas. Tomato soup and runny mashed potatoes made me sick.

Instant sugar free choc and vanilla pudding.

Thank goodness for all of your shared feedback. I know feel more hopeful of getting through the post-op period with all of the options above.

Tomato soup was too rich for me but I was able to have a bite or two of mashed potatoes at Thanksgiving. Vanilla Greek yogurt is a good option. I blended it at first and it was good. I've been able to have scrambled eggs and now fat free cottage cheese - all chewn really well. Sugar free Jello goes down ok. I blended a healthy recipe type split pea and ham soup at Thanksgiving and had several bites of it. I also made chicken soup and blended that. Good luck!!!!
