Be careful of potatoes and Beans right now they are more carbs then anything else.

What is the best things to eat in the mushie stage?

Things with Protein. Soft eggs, I loved six minute eggs, scrambled eggs. One of my fave mush meals was a bit of grits or mashed potato and a six minute egg. Oh, yum! Some lo-fat refried Beans and cheese. Yoghurt, cottage cheese, tuna broken up really small, oatmeal. Chili with cheese. Just kind of smush up the chili with a fork, and add some cheese and nom, nom, nom! Tomato Soup with cheese. Are you seeing a trend, here? I like cheese. And it is a good source of Protein, if it is something you like and can have. :D Quick grits and cheese... fruit cocktail and cottage cheese.

Pretty much anything that is soft, fairly mild qualifies as mushie. Not too spicy, you need to eat foods that are gentle so that your stomach can heal and your band can settle into place and get ready to rock it's job. The mushie phase is tedious but if you are creative, it isn't too bad.

I really do love my band. It is such a useful and helpful tool. I have fully embraced it as my Little Silicone Friend. I am not perfect, every day but I am compliant most days and working on it. :D My band helps me to have a better, healthier all around relationship with food. I no longer think of food as my life. It is fuel, my life is other, better things, now. -_- I hope that your band helps you to have that relationship, as well. :D

I'm only a few weeks in myself (21st February banded) and still finding my feet but looking forward to the future. I'm not struggling with anything but just getting used to changes.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
