Anyone else have trouble with eggs on mushies?

[TennJenn 9]

I tried to eat a scrambled egg yesterday and it didn't go down well at all. I didn't get through half of it & I was very uncomfortable. I was careful to eat small bites, chew well, and eat slowly...but I guess I could have eaten too fast. I don't particularly like eggs anyway, but I know it's a good source of Protein so I was willing to eat it. I don't think I'll be trying it again for a while.

Jenn, I tried yesterday and it was awful. I've heard from a few other people that they just couldn't do eggs at all. It feels like it gets stuck. I'm back to a Protein Shake today. How're you doing?

[TennJenn 9]

That's exactly how it felt for me...like it got stuck. Horrible feeling!:ohmy:

I didn't eat anything else the rest of the night after that and I did a Protein shake this am. Right now I am eating some Nutrisystem homestyle mashed potatoes I had left after my last diet attempt. They are good & have added Protein. They seem to be going down fine (as does refried Beans, if I eat slowly).

I love sushi so I bought some ahi and ground it up really well with ponzu sauce and shiso leaf. It has a ton of Protein and it goes down really well. I'm not sure raw fish paste is for everyone but it works for me!

I tried refried Beans and they felt too sticky & thick.

It seems like most of the mushy foods are high carb/lower Protein. I have some ricotta cheese that I'm going to try later today. We'll see.

Can I drown mine in ketchup? ????

I start mushies/purees on Sunday....I can't wait!

I'm really looking forward to Beans.

Yuck! I do not eat fish, period. I know it's a great source of Protein, but it makes me want to gag just thinking about it! However, I am glad you found a good Protein for you while on mushies. That's a good thing!

As far as the refried Beans, I thinned it out with taco sauce and a bit of sour cream...then chewed the dickens out of it! :ohmy: It's actually probably going to be my biggest mushie source of protein because I can't see blenderizing any meat and eating it! I'm not a big meat eater anyway, so that totally grosses me out.

I thought eggs would be a good protein, but it didn't work out as planned.

My wife can't eat eggs, but egg beaters work just fine. They are better for you anyway.

eggs are a mushie in some programs but they are rather high up on the food chain so a lot of people can't deal with them this early out. For me they were a lifesaver, though.

Someone mentioned ricotta and that reminded me of a couple of recipes Lulu shared with me when I was on mushies that I really enjoyed. Here they are:

ricotta bake:

1 container skim ricotta 15oz

1 frozen pckg of spinach thawd/drained well - you can also use any veggie - sometimes i'll take zuchinni/eggplant and saute till soft

1/2 cup parmesean cheese

1 egg

mix all together - put in a baking dish - add another 1/2c cheese on top and bake @ 350 till golden & bubbly - about 30mins

*i'll add some marinara or pesto sauce on top once done*

luff -

1 15oz container of lf ricotta

1 small tub of ff cool whip

half packet of sf Jello cheesecake pudding mix

half packet of sf chocolate pudding mix

combine - set over night - YUM

Can you post the receipe for the ahi tuna paste. I am several weeks away from mushies but love ahi tuna.

Thanks, Deanna

TennJenn - I still have trouble with eggs -- scrambled that is; I tried poached and they go down very easy ... scrambled and poached are the only 2 ways I will eat eggs -- and they by far aren't my favorite food.

I did the same thing with the refried Beans - taco sauce and sour cream - made them moister and a bit "thinner" so they went down easy - of course, it took me most of the day to eat the small container you get at Taco Bell.

I forgot about the ricotta cheese eeryone talked about -- may have to give that a try - Bearded may like it too.

This is my third day of mushies, and I'm digging the tuna salad I made the other day. I put two hard boiled eggs in it. I'm about to eat some in a few minutes!

Other than that, I've tried chili with a little cheese and sour cream, but I'm ready for some Beans too. I'd love some baked Beans, but I know that isn't the best choice.

[TennJenn 9]

Amanda, how did you do the tuna salad? Did you put it in the blender? I like boiled eggs, but I am scared to try it after the scrambled egg fiasco. :thumbup:

Vegas, what does ricotta cheese taste like? I'm scared to try it! :ohmy:
