I am hosting New Year's Eve this year. I plan to make the favorites that we have every year but I'd like to add a few that I can actually eat. Being on soft foods, I'm having a lot of trouble. Any ideas?

I can't imagine that you'll be able to eat "a few" of anything. Be very careful. It's all so new. If I were you, I would stick to my normal soft food diet (i.e. whatever I would eat if I wasn't hosting a party) and stay away from food at the party.

Good luck and Happy New Year!

I am on soft foods now and for Christmas Eve I made meatballs and ate three of them the whole night. I also ate a few oyster crackers. There was a vege tray and chips,wings and sausage balls, lots of sweets and a ham and cheese with rolls. I could of had some cheese but I'm not crazy about cheese. Eat slowly and remember to think soft foods. Happy New Year and enjoy your party. Teresa

For Christmas I ate soft cheese, some shrimp chewed to the extreme, and tiny tiny pieces of turkey and that was fine.

Try going to Eggfaces blog. She has wonderful little crustless quiches which should work with your plan. Here's a link to her page in case you don't have it

I was just going to recommend Eggface but Senecalgirl beat me to it! I make her bites a couple years ago. Everyone seemed to enjoy them.

I'd be cautious trying new food at a party. It would suck to get sick or spend an hour with the foamies!!

Deviled eggs
Shrimp
Chicken wings (my program allowed fish and fowl after 1 week and I never had any problems with chicken - I only swallow what chews to a liquid. I could eat, like 1 wing early outnow I can eat 2-3. LOL).

Enjoy the people. Enjoy the smells of the food. You don't need to eat the food in order to have a great time - the surgery has freed you from that!! And just think, you will probably be the only person at the party who isn't stuffed by the end of the night and isn't afraid to face the scale the next day!!

Worth it!! I promise!!

Sounds like you managed fine!

I had my first outing , out to dinner, and had 1 ounces of salmon, and 1 ounce of mashed potates...with a few pea's, and I mean like 2 peas, LOL!!

It's ok, but it still fills me up, and the salmon was SOOO tender!!

I can go out to eat at restaurant!! ANd Appleby's was amazing, making the "adjustments", that I asked for with my meal!
