Rosebud2 26 Posted June 6, 2009 I need you all to put your heads together and get creative for me. The situation is that I am having guests next weekend. dinner will be involved. I will still be on mushies. They don't know about the surgery and I ain't telling. They usually expect big things from me as I am an amateur chef. Now that you know the details. What can I cook that will be good, that I can have at least some of and won't be too obvious that I'm on mushies? All suggestions will be appreciated.

Elisabethsew 50 Posted June 7, 2009 You can have Pasta on a soft diet and you can also have flaky fish like tilapia or flounder. How about making some 4 cheese lasagna or serving ravioli? You can also have a mushed up meatball so spaghetti and meatballs or baked ziti and meatballs would work. If you like french food, go for a quiche (easy to make).

Rosebud2 26 Posted June 7, 2009 Good suggestions. I can make the meatballs really tiny and they won't notice if I don't take more than a couple. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rosebud2 26 Posted June 23, 2009 I made a cold avocado Soup and a salmon souffle. I could only eat a few bites of each, but boy was it yummy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oregondaisy 2,021 Posted June 23, 2009 Fish is always a good option. lasagne is good because you can eat the middle. Anything meatloaf like. Meatloaf is not fancy like something you would make for company, but it's that texture you're going to need. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oregondaisy 2,021 Posted June 24, 2009 Hey I think there are cook books for people with WLS. I know at LBT there is a food section with lots of recipes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
