HI folks. I've been in and out of this newsgroup for the past few years. This past Monday, I decided to start induction again.....going well so far.
Today at lunch, my jaw popped out of place and it took some work to get it back where it was supposed to be. I am on a soft food diet until I go back to the dentist on Monday. I need ideas for soft foods over and above the obvious ones on the acceptable food list. I am willing to go into OWL and then back into induction next week if necessary.
Help !! and TIA.

Yogurt, tofu, cream soups (asparagus is still in season here - and that's a good way to get your veggies in, which can be harder on a soft diet).

Think of it as a way to get extra veggies. Cold fresh raw veggies reduced to mush have very good flavor no matter that they lack texture.
Cheese. Shred it. Food processor to the rescue again.
Cooking. Low carb veggies turn quickly to mush. It ruins their flavor and their crunch but right now that's your goal not an obstacle.
Combine the two above to make one of the common recipes that is used in place of mashed potato. Cook cauliflower until soft. Mash. Add shredded cheese and have it melt. The result is "fauxtatoes". Real natural core low carb food that isn't what is often meant by "substitute".

Agree completely. You might also make some neat soups from stews: create a quick stew from finely diced beef, lamb, pork or chicken, add a good amount of herbs, broth and maybe a carrot and some onion, garlic or shallot...cook until the meat is quite soft and tender, then simply throw it all into the blender or food processor. You should be able to get maximum flavor for very few carbs.

And if you want relatively fast food that is both soft and low carb, mash up some ripe avocados, with the seasoning of your choice (lemon juice and a dash of Tabasco would be nice, for instance).

Gadget freak tries to figure out how to get a rotisserie to make soft food. Hmm, no luck. Buy one anyways. Your need for soft food won't last! ;^)
Gadgety ways to make food soft -
Crockpot. Put stuff in frozen in the morning. Get home from work and will be soft enough for fall apart on your fork. Soft enough for dental problems? Not sure. Any veggie including roots not yet available during Induction will be soft.
Pressure cooker. Harnessing fire is fun, harnessing live steam in a metal container puts fun to shame. It is easy to make food soft in a pressure cooker. Usual safety guidelines about cooling before opening.
