Mushie Stage



Recommended Posts

I am soooo happy to be on mushies! Two weeks never seemed so long as those that I was forced to do liquids on! Just wanted to post some good mushie stage stuff....if you havent tried them, the Jello Cheesecake cups are AWESOME, I cant stop singing their praises! Also, I got the best thing for christmas for mushies, the Magic Bullet blender.....if you dont have one then you neeeed one of these little beauties for mushie stuff.. I smashed up some potato salad and cloeslaw tonight for lunch tomorrow, surprisingly good. This little thing is perfect for making protein/frozen yogurt smoothies as well. So, it would be great for the liquid stage too I suppose. Any more great mushie recipies out there? :cry Please post them, I dont want to feel as deprived at this stage as I was on liquids.

Cheers

I made mushie spaghetti bolonese - made the sauce a bit sloppier than usual then mushed it up with the blender - looks disgusting but tasted great. Also had some Thai chicken curry - again looked awful blended up but tasted great. Anything with sauce to it can be turned into mushies, i know of someone who turned lasagna into mushie.

You can try it. It is just eggs and cheese right? no meat? no potatoes?

Let me know how it goes Cerrin. I am nervous about Beans after spending a week trying to get all the gas out of me. Are Beans going to be ok?

And check the calories on those premade omelets. If you use one slice of 2% borden slice cheese (50cal) and one egg + a little milk (100 cal) and cook it in a skillet that doesnt need to be buttered its only 150cal total for the omelet.

How many calories are in a premade omelet?

Hi there. I was banded on Dec. 10. I am at the same stage as you but don't blender my food. I just try to chew the food really good. My doctor said it's ok as look as I am not having problems and chew it good.

I love getting on the scales almost everday to see that I have lost another pound. I am just so afraid that i won't get down to my ideal weight.

I haven't started exercising yet. I really need to though. I just have been very sluggish the past few days. I don't know why. I have been sleeping really good at night.

I have been very good with my Water and no other calorie drinks. I eat chicken, chicken, chicken and fish every day.

Wow guys, thanks for all the responses! I am gonna try the cheese omlete as it sounds wonderful! Also, I hadnt thought about just blending up anything with a sauce in it, i am gonna try some chunky Soups in the blender, they may look hideous but taste the same, maybe i will close my eyes as i eat. lol

Lumpy, please dont worry already about getting to your goal weight....with patience you will get there! The scales are not kind to me, I find if i get on them daily I start to worry more. Maybe weigh yourself once a week at the same time, like Sunday morning...something like that. This way, you will get a better read. You sound like you are doing great with eating and the no cal. drinks, you will get there!

My doctor considered tuna salad as smushie so I liked that and it went down well. Another favorite is scoop the potato part out of a baked potato away from the skin and put the things you normally like on a baked potato. It can get high in fat but I was eating so little that I was not worried. Good luck to you!

I had an egg and cheese omelet today and OH MY, *HEAVENLY*!! I was so excited to go grocery shopping and buy FOOD! :rolleyes:

Yum, gonna have to have a baked potato. I'm really not worrying too much about fat content right now; I figure I'm still eating so little that it's a non-issue. I'll get a little more serious about that when I go to "regular" food, still have two more weeks for that.

Ohhhhh, keep the ideas coming... I start mushies on Tuesday and I can hardly wait. I go back to work on Wednesday and I'm trying to figure out what I should take with me for lunches.

I'm dreaming about an omelet! It sounds sooooo good.

I don't know the calorie count on the premade omelette, I for got to look. I was in a ruch at the store and just picked one up. The thing I like is that it is 4oz so I son't have to think. I also got some egg beater cups that are 4 oz already measured. Just pour it in and ffry it up. I also got some low sugar ketchup that wasn't as bad as I though it would be.

Try some refried Beans with salsa and cheese heated and melted in the microwave. As good as any Mexican meal. I couldn't believe it. I mix 1/4 to 1/2 cup beans with a little salsa. Very filling too.

      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.
