Mushy foods?

[hodegard 0]

After being on all liquids for the last THREE WEEKS, I'm finally allowed to eat mushy foods. But the problem is that the only things that I can think of are sweet... yogurt, pudding, mashed banana, oatmeal. I'm not really a big fan of sweets, especially not as a meal. What were some other things that the rest of you ate during this stage? I will be at this stage for another three weeks, and I want lots of options!

When I was in my mushy food stage I loved scrambled eggs. My surgeon suggested that I used egg beaters because she wasn't a fan of real eggs. They kept me full the longest.

Well, I loved to eat this and it all has Protein in it so it added up the more times you eat this. I was stuck on it so I had it 3 or 4 times per day for almost 2 weeks..

Make a 9x13 or smaller pan

1st layer-cream cheese-spead out on bottom-2gr per Tablespoon

2nd layer-Refried beans-9 grams per 1/2 cup

3 layer- cheese and lots of it!-9gram per 1/3 cup

Then just spoon out a serving in a bowl and pop in the microwave.

If serving for the rest of family pop in the oven 350 for 10min or until cheese melts. They can eat with chips!

ENJOY!

I practically lived on blended low-fat turkey chili by Hormel. yum, yum. Refried Beans thinned a little with Tomato juice, tuna whizzed in the food processor with mayo, egg salad whizzed in the food processor (although that was not so fab texture-wise - the egg whites, even though chopped very small, made it grainy - yuck)

Just about anything you think of as regular food can be food processed into mush - thin with a little boullion or tomato juice or milk or Water - whatever goes well with what your blending to make it a little mushy.

I vote for chili too! I dont normally like anything spicy but it was satisfying and had the meat crumblets that filled me up. Also, it was convenient when i was out and about to go to the fast food drive thru (wendy's) .

The only bad part about Wendys chili is the meat.

I was told NO RED MEAT FOR 1 YEAR plus!

Red meat take 12 hours to digest..

So think about the fact your new pouch is about 1ounce, I don't want that sitting there for 12 hours...

So I make my own chili using ground turkey or chicken. After you add the seasoning you can not tell it is not hamburger.

Have you checked this info with a dietician or Inamed? I ask because I've never heard this and I've been reading about the band for quite a while.

I found this really yummy recipe on the Smart Bandsters website when I was thinking of things too eat. I was a little skeptical of trying it but I did and was pleasantly suprised....even the KIDS loved it!!

1 can fat free refried Beans

1 can enchilada sauce

Salsa

fat free plain yogurt - I chose to omit this

Put it all in the blender and heat in the microwave.

I added a spoonful of fat free sour cream to the top.

It was SOOOO filling and SOOO yummy. Hope you like it!

I hated this stage...I was gagged out on sweetness!

I chose alot of refried Beans...a soft omelette with peppers, tomatoes, cheese, and salsa...basically a breakfeast burrito minus the burrito...

My save for this week was instant mashed potatoes and stove top stuffing...I know it didn't have alot of protien but if I wouldn't have ate this I wouldn't have ate...

It's amazing I still can eat yogurt and pudding...I eat the pudding as a sweet snack when I'm in the mood and usually try the yogurt as a breakfeast...

It will be over sooner than you know!
