Are you talking about full liquids right after surgery (yogurt, pudding, Soup etc) or the next stage (my surgeon called it pureed and blenderized) - mashed potatoes (be careful with pot. easy to overdo it), sweet potatoes, chicken salad, tuna salad...........my go to was the chicken salad, in the blender had the consistancy of thick Peanut Butter (add a bit of moisture) but it was soooooo good after a month of liquids. Wendy's chili in a blender was recommended, but I didn't have. Soft Pasta I was only on that stage for 7 days.

Gosh, there are so many mushies and recipes you can make. I really enjoyed this stage beleive me!!

I made a list what to buy from the store when I was in the 'mushy' stages, they are:

Mashed potatoes

Mashed sweet potatoes

Blenderized tuna fish white/albacore in Water

laughing cow 'lite' cheese wedges

Babybel 'lite' cheese

Ricotta cheese (part skim)

Cottage cheese (1 or 2%)

Refried Beans

Bumble Bee chicken Breast (blenderized) in can.

**Note, you can also visit the food/nutrition thread on here and find there are many many recipes for mushy stages, several I posted myself**

Be safe from Sandy, we are expecting her as well (NJ here)

Refried Beans, mashed potatoes, eggs, cottage cheese, grits, cream of wheat. So far I've had eggs, mashed potatoes, and Refried beans. Also I stewed chicken in the crockpot with chicken broth and taco seasoning. Going to try that today!

Pretty much anything you can blenderize so it's mushy like baby food. Even some chicken put in the blender with broth, tuna salad, chicken salad. Even egg salad would work.

Scrambled eggs with cheese and tilapia. Potatoes are fine in small portions.
