charley27 164 Posted July 12, 2016 So I'm on the mushy phase and i feel like all I eat is crap. I can have mashed potatoes, cottage cheese, scrambled eggs. I have two of the three pretty much every day. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

justhere4theshow 462 Posted July 12, 2016 Greek yogurt is really good with a scoop of unflavored Unjury powder. Packs a good Protein punch. It won't be long before you can spread your wings a bit. Just let your tummy heal. You'll get there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FrankyG 1,450 Posted July 12, 2016 (edited) Refried Beans with a little cheese or unflavored greek yogurt (tastes like sour cream but higher protein). cheese sticks (loved string cheese in the early days) chicken or tuna salad (I love doing chicken salad with a few red grapes chopped up, some mayo and a touch of curry powder) Edited July 12, 2016 by FrankiesGirl Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
charley27 164 Posted July 12, 2016 I don't like Beans or Greek yogurt. I have been doing well with cheese though! I don't like tuna, but I had some mushy salmon and it made me throw up almost instantly Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
magoosmom 115 Posted July 13, 2016 Yeah I am ready for some real meat and not so many carbs. I don't eat a lot of carbs normally so having grits, mashed potatoes, refried Beans, Etc is not my cup of tea. I have had Greek yogurt but dairy and I never got along too well. But it's just a little longer--one more week--and then I can have fish and other higher Protein. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
missblonde20 72 Posted July 13, 2016 It can be very hard at this stage - so don't beat yourself up! Just do what you can until you can start introducing the real stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
debd80 41 Posted July 13, 2016 I lived off of canned ham mixed with low fat mayo. High in sodium, but it helped with my meat cravings. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShortieChangin 7 Posted July 13, 2016 I know what you mean with the lack of options. I'm very adamant about eating clean - artificial ingredients actually make me ill & finding all natural foods that fit what I'm allowed to eat does not offer much variety. Look for this yogurt called Smari, it's Icelandic yogurt. It's higher in Protein, lower in sugar, and in my opinion tastes better than Greek yogurt. Target carries it.

chycky 671 Posted July 13, 2016 Icelandic yogurt is great as shared. There are many brands and sometimes it is called Skyr. It is smoother and not bitter like Greek yogurt. I wouldn't eat it all day because it has much more carbs -- I don't think I have ever seen it in plain flavor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShortieChangin 7 Posted July 13, 2016 Smari does have a plain flavor too. I think they call it Pure instead of plain. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
anniebanana 167 Posted July 13, 2016 @@debd80 That sounds so good...I'm still on liquids, would give anything for an egg or canned ham/mayo!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Barry W 336 Posted July 13, 2016 Lowfat cottage cheese and eggs are both pretty healthy... you can also try stuff like chili made with ground chicken or ground turkey - lowfat meat is already ground up in there and you get the healthy Beans too... also bean salads with most any bean - black, kidney, edamame, or chickpeas - are very healthy.

SunshyneRN 4 Posted July 13, 2016 They have chili that comes with no Beans, you have have lentil Soup (if u like lentil), egg drop Soup, also go to website "the world according to eggface" and try her ricotta bake and cheese cauliflower since you like cheese - these r delicious Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
