Need Soft Food Ideas RAOK Winner Cody82414

[cybilx10]

I need some soft food ideas for my husband.

He goes in for surgery next Thursday and will need to eat soft foods for about the first week.
I need to go to the grocery store this weekend to get stocked up on things for him. So what ideas do you have?

I know of yogurt, ice cream, apple sauce but what else is there?


Will pull a winner Friday.

I'm not sure how soft the foods need to be, but here are some ideas-
pudding
soups (cream soups like mushroom and tomato are filling)
milk shakes
scrambled eggs
smoothies- banana is filling
oatmeal, cream of wheat, etc
hot chocolate

that's all I can think of right now. Good luck!

Soup, jello, pudding... mashed taters...

spagettio's, cottage cheese, small shelled pasta and pesto sauce, and cold cereal like rice krispies that can soak up the milk and become soft. Oh! and my all time favorite - muffins!!! Good Luck!

Usually soft foods mean things that don't need to be chewed or are easily digested. So... no raw fruits or vegies, meats needs to be ground or pureed. No nuts or seeds. Pretty much baby food consistency! Custard is another good choice because the eggs and milk add to the protein count. Consider using soy milk when making puddings, etc because it will add more protein. Cottage cheese would work too. Good luck and God bless!

scrambled eggs is the first thing I thought of :) Good luck with the surgery :)

Ovaltine in milk. Tasty and has the good stuff.

I grew up in the south, so along with oatmeal, I say grits! Also, may want to stock up on protein shakes like Slimfast or Special K shakes. Or if you are even more worried about his nutrition, get some Ensure.

For sweet treats: marshmallows and small pieces of chocolate that can melt in the mouth & not be chewed.
