Help- I need a menu example on mushy foods

I need help-

I was given the ok to eat mushy foods as long as I can tolerate them.- I have not idea to elaborate a menu since everything i have tried makes me run to the restroom and throw up. It feels weird and painful. I have been on broth and Protein Shakes. Can anybody give me an example of a daily menu on mushy foods. Please. Thanks! My surgery was on 9/7.

Sounds like the "if you can tolerate them" is the key part--your sleeve may not be ready for mushy foods yet. My first "mushy foods" were yogurt and blended chicken Soup (the creamy kind). Also try some sugar-free pudding. When you feel you can tolerate a few spoons of these (and that's all you'll be able to fit in, I bet), you can move to a couple of spoons of refried Beans with some cheese melted in (yum!) or a couple bites of scrambled egg.

Just take it easy. It took me a long time to be able to tolerate foods of most sorts--do what feels comfortable to you and don't rush it. Keep on your shakes for Protein, and keep your hydration up.

Good luck to you! It may take some time, but you'll do fine.

Tomato Soup has been my first thick liquid and it is great although someone said about pureed bean and bacon and that sounds good too
