Is finely ground turkey and mashed bananas considered mushies? I keep seeing people eating these things, but i wasn't sure. I will ask my dr Monday, just curious what the consensus was. :).

My dr didn't have a mushie stage, he called it blenderized and pureed.........if you could whip it up in a blender it was okay. That was after full liquids for 1 week then introduced ground meats and bananas came in then as well.

Good luck.

Thank you! Yes, i can puree anything. I was thinking of doing some ground italian seasoned turkey meatballs and blending them with a Tomato based sauce and maybe a bit of ricotta. I am not sure how that would taste though lol

I puréed a lot of different foods in the blender. I actually puréed cheese ravioli! It looked gross, but it tasted like heaven!

What is after your mushie stage. I think blenderized Wendy's chili was part of my pureed stage, so you might be okay.

My cncern for you would be the enormous amount of fat and calories you plan to blend up. Not judging' date=' just an observation. .Sausage was not, and still is not part of my doctor's approved diet plan[/quote']

She said turkey meatballs not sausage. ... If you used turkey meatballs and low or fat free ricotta, this would not be an enormous amount of fat or calories...just saying,

I put chicken in the blender with a bit of low fat gravy and it was so good at that time. Introduce meats slowely......I am 2 months out and had beef for the first time this week......still nervous about that and have not had pork yet.

Heck, I had surgery over two years ago and in still nervous about beef! Can't do any stewing meat- no matter how long it cooks in the slow cooker, it still gives me trouble. The only pork that I eat is pork tenderloin. It stays very tender and it makes great slow cooker barbecue pork.

I eat beef, I just have to very careful. I use very lean ground beef to make chili and taco meat, I just can't do beef like in a slow cooker. I can do tenderloin, yum! I just can't afford to eat it all the time.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
