Eggs are an excellent source of protein and are usually well tolerated. You can eat soy products for a non-meat selection. Meats or protein sources that you should limit while on a soft diet are those with higher fat or those that have a lot of added seasonings, as well as difficult-to-chew foods.
Anesthetic: A substance that causes lack of feeling or awareness, dulling pain to permit surgery and other painful procedures.
The word anesthetic traces back to the Greek word anaisthÄsia, from a combination of an-, meaning âwithoutâ and aisthÄsis, meaning âsensation.â If you take an anesthetic thatâs what happens: you are temporarily without sensation, meaning you feel no pain. A general anesthetic causes temporary unconsciousness and is often used during surgeries.
