Soft diet ideas

What about smoothies?
Add fruit and greens and almond milk and blitz.

I know this is soup, but in the warm weather would gazpacho be a welcomed change?

Could you snack on hummus and cream cheese? Admittedly I'd jump at the excuse to eat it with a spoon...imagine it's not for everyone.

Tinned spaghetti basically disintegrates on your tongue.

As a student (and occasionally now!) I'd microwave a bowl of mushy peas liberally seasoned with salt/pepper/chilli.

Could you make yourself a babyfood style compote with fruit...actually...could you even try baby food? Just to get something in you!

Mashed banana and really soggy rice crispies are my comfort food. Hope you feel better soon :-)

So far today I have eaten little and often as suggested, thanks JIL.

I had the scrambled egg, then had a cup of lentil soup, then half a packet of noodles left from yesterday and I just had a 1/3 tin of custard with a 1/3 tin of peaches pureed. The peaches were lovely and they cheap as well at Lidl, I think I'll keep buying them.
I'm up to almost 700 calories and I'll have a few spoonful of ice cream before trying to swallow tablets later. Better than yesterday but still not great.
Thank you for all the suggestions and well wishes :A

Pâte is another soft food that hasn't been mentioned. Also avocados.

OH just bought me a banana to mush up, we don't normally eat a lot of fruit mainly veg so he has had to shop to get some.

I had not even thought about pate, I have some liver and bacon in the freezer, if I feel up to cooking tomorrow I'll make some- great idea and will help get my iron back up.

I have everything in to make hummus as well and I really don't mind digging in with a spoon :rotfl:

I second the suggestion someone made about "anything liquidised". When I had a family member in the same situation as you I even liquidised an entire roast dinner. Apparently it was very tasty!

Weetabix (supermarket generic) wth loads of hot milk. Delicious and comforting

Thinking back to what my Mum made for me after I had my tonsils out - the Northern Ireland standby of champ, made with scallions (spring onions) with potatoes and milk. You would need to cook the scallions in the milk first, then I usually cheat and use instant mash unless there are potatoes ready cooked. Serve with a hollow on the top and some butter to melt in!

I made a cottage pie for dinner tonight and I took myself a few tablespoons of the mince and veg mix out and blended it until it looks like it has no lumps, popped it in a ramekin with a few spoonfuls of mash and a pinch of cheese on top. I'll see how I get on with that.

I'm managing to drink a full cup of tea today
