Non-fat refried Beans or hummus!

My drs top four favorites are cottage cheese, low sugar yogurt (no fruit/seeds), eggs and tofu. I loved refried Beans cream of wheat and mashed potatoes (although we are discouraged from these). Soups in the blender are yummy too.

My staples were refried Beans, mashed potatos, plain greek yogurt (add some flavored crystal light or sf Torani syrup), and apple sauce.

False alarm. One more week of liquids is what my Dr. decided. Oh well.....

Can you eat boiled eggs on mushy phase? I don't like any other type of egg.

I ate cottage cheese, mashed potatoes, applesauce, greek yogurt. I did eat some egg salad made with mayo and plain greek yogurt. I chopped the eggs very, very fine and chewed them to death. I was also allowed to have 4 low fat Ritz round crackers per day if I let them "melt" in my mouth before swallowing. Honestly, they were the absolute best. I looked forward to those crackers the entire day. I was so glad to have something salty and crunchy after 5 weeks of sweet liquids.< /p>

I started a 9 day stall the day I switched to mushies so be prepared......

All the best in your journey!

Not much!

I was on Clear Liquids for the first week, then promoted to full liquids for the next 3 weeks. I was soooooo excited to get to mushies I bought everything people had mentioned on the boards. Needless to say, my new tummy couldn't handle half of what was mentioned and the quantities were miniscule. A single scoop of VERY SOFT mashed potatoes---say from KFC lasted me 5 days. Firm mashed potatoes, like from chicken Express, I couldn't even eat. It was well over 6 weeks before I could eat the refried Beans. Both cottage cheese and ricotta worked well for me.
