Mushy Foods - I Need Your Input!



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone! I hope you all had a nice holiday:)

I am starting my diet for the nutritionist this week and she asked that I start experimenting with some of the mushy foods so that they won't be such a shock to me when i have to eat them. She suggested I try pureeing some chicken - the idea of that makes me sick!!!!!

Please tell me what your favorite mushy foods were! I would really appreciate the feedback! I am hoping this will be my last appointment with her so we can submit to insurance and get the ball rolling!!

I agree, lots of stuff sounded totally gross pre-op to me too but somehow I managed to deal with it after surgery. Puréed chicken was my favorite meat... The trick is to add enough moisture, because it can get a strange texture, almost stringy. The white meat breasts were the worst with that.

I've transitioned to soft foods -- almost to normal diet -- but my fave mushy foods were rotisserie chicken meat (blenderized) and cottage cheese. Rotisserie chicken has such an awesome flavor, and it's very soft and moist.

Oddly enough, puréed Beans, with different kinds of spices, were a hit too. I couldn't stand Beans before and now I'm quite fond of them, especially cannellini (white beans). Lots of people like refried beans with a little of cheese on top. I also liked hummus and baba ganoush. I think the key for me was to eat food that naturally came puréed... Then I didn't feel deprived because I had to mess around with it. I tried to eat what my family was eating at night but I always felt a little sad putting dinner in the blender.

Stacey, Lots of foods that sound yucky now will taste pretty good after the liquid pre and post-op diets. I actually ate some potted meat with scrambled eggs just for a flavor change post-op. I also drank lots of chicken and beef broth and ran both Wendy's chili and Dinty Moore beef stew through my magic bullet.

Good luck with your journey!! :)

Look for the ricota bake recipe in the food forum.

Mushy foods I enjoyed were tuna salad, egg salad and chicken salad make with Miracle

Whip Light, refried Beans and cheese, mashed up white fish, cottage cheese, and ground beef such as meat loaf or meat balls.

I was able to eat cottage cheese on my pureed diet. I also made the ricotta bake and added pureed chicken.< /p>

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
