Pureed-Mushy stage question



Recommended Posts

My book says I'm allowed "Very finely chopped or spreadable solid foods." Examples given are cottage cheese, tuna salad, chicken salad, egg salad, refried Beans, tofu and mushed soft veggies. I'm wondering if overeasy eggs that are mashed up (since that is the way I eat them anyway) would go in this category? I ask because "eggs" aren't named until the soft texture phase but I'm guessing that's concerning scrambled eggs and hard cooked eggs?

Honestly, if they don't mention eggs until the soft texture phase, I would assume they mean no eggs until the soft texture phase. But definitely call them and ask for clarification. You/your insurance company paid them a lot of money for their guidance, don't hesitate to make use of it! :)

I agree with @@Bufflehead do give them a call and ask for sure......but I'm thinking an egg over easy would fit in that category....but always best to ask. Actually, I had my NUT and Nurse coordinator's email addresses and it was always much easier for me to get an answer from them via email rather than catching them at their desks. If you have their email addresses use them.....My first two weeks I was in constant contact with my nurse coordinator....it was very reassuring!

Well they DO mention eggs but only in egg salad lol. So it's a bit confusing. I guess I will text my surgeon and ask. My nutritionist was having a family emergency last time I texted her which was about a week ago and she never did get back to me so I'm currently looking for a new one.

I say eggs are eggs.....as long as they are as soft as what you would use for egg salad I think you're good to go. :)

That's what I figured as well. If they are the same only without the extra junk and just soft yolks then I would assume they are fine. I thought about it for a few minutes after my last post and decided I'd go ahead and make some and it went down better than most of the other stuff I've had to eat on this diet and no upset stomach like some of the other stuff too (tuna salad did not go so well). So I guess we'll know soon enough. So far, so good!

      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?

      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.
