shellbelle 4 Posted January 16, 2012 I am just about finished with my 2nd stage liquid week, mostly living off of Cup O' Soup and potato Soup. I need some ideas for the beginning of the mushy stage, so that I can get some variety (and much more protein!) in my diet! Thanks, all! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PdxMan 4,292 Posted January 16, 2012 I grabbed Soups and blended them. Any and all. My favorites were lentil/ham, chicken/veggie and turkey chili. ... and cottage cheese, which is good, but be aware some folks develop lactose intolerance post surgery.

Indymom 132 Posted January 19, 2012 My mushy stage included canned tuna and chicken, so I would make tuna or chicken salad with a bit of dill relish (check if this is OK with your nutritionist). Tuna in particular is packed with Protein. I also ate greek yogurt, cottage cheese, and lots and lots of 2% cheese (again, this isn't always allowed in the mushy stage so check with your nutritionist or your food plan from your surgeon).

Snoopy 0 Posted January 22, 2012 Cottage cheese (but I had problems with the curds getting a little stuck), Yoplait Lite Yogurt, I also added unflavored Protein mix to pudding and yogurt for the extra protein. I know its a lot to keep up with, but make sure you dont forget about your protein. Im having to backtrack as I am loosing hair fast!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
