Help! Mushies?



Recommended Posts

What are some of the best foods, to start with, as I begin my mushies? What foods to try with caution? And foods to stay away from..

Also, if I'm tryin a new food, how long after I take the first bite, should I wait to see if my body rejects it-- before I take another bite.

Any advice or suggestions please :D

My doctor suggested cottage cheese, yogurt, cream of wheat, creamy Soups, tuna w/lilght mayo, mosist fish... in other words soft wet food. For some strange reason I was able to eat pretzels 4 wks post op. I chewed them real well though. If I ate something that was not working I knew IMMEDITELY, it just would feel funny going down. I really never had any vomiting issues but the first 4-6 weeks if I did not chew my food really-really well I would get the "foamies" where I would spit up foamy syliva for hours and be totally uncomfortable. Once I chewed my food 50+ times then I was OK. It was the worst to go thru that, the foamies would last any where from a hour to 12 hours (my worst case). That is the way my body was telling me to chew my food more.

I did Soups blended,mashed potatoes,light yogurt, cream of wheat, activia light, apple sause, sugar free pudding and Jello, fat free cool whip, your taste and appetite will be different to though so just try one new thing at a time eat slowly and don't stress. For me if it isn't gonna work I know instantly it's such a weird feeling. I'm nearly 4 months post op and I can't do any seafood or chicken but I can eat steak. Everythings trial and error so be patient and take it one day at a time. Good luck

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
