kjeter 1 Posted February 20, 2008 I'm nearly three weeks out, and on the "mushie" stage. I've been having grilled fish and "steamed til they're mushie" green vegetables for lunch and dinner. Fish includes tuna steak, salmon and tilapia, all which are very flakey and soft when grilled. I'm not putting anything through a blender, and not having any problems with anything getting stuck, either. Am I blowing the mushie stage? I don't go in for a fill until Feb 28, and follow up with surgeon on Mar 3. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sfeiner 2 Posted February 20, 2008 I would call it a mushy if you can mash it up with a fork. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skinny_Jill 36 Posted February 20, 2008 My doctor had fish listed in the mushie stage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jpet 0 Posted February 20, 2008 I'm on the mushy phase also, and my doctor listed fish as a mushy. But I generally eat sole because I find it to be a mushier fish than salmon or tuna, which can be very solid sometimes. Just try to mash it up before you eat it, i.e. don't eat a chunk of it at a time. That way, you're doing some of the work for your stomach a head of time.

IndioGirl55 32 Posted February 20, 2008 I ate sole or catfish (baked)- these are very mosit fish and mush up very well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kjeter 1 Posted February 20, 2008 I really appreciate everyone who responded. I feel much better now. I guess I feel like I'm eating "normal" food instead of mushies because I was eating grilled fish a lot before the band. I think probably anything that I can cut/mash with a fork is probably going to be okay. I just saw so many people talking about putting stuff in the blender and went, "Uh-Oh!" I thought I had really messed up! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jpet 0 Posted February 21, 2008 Yeah, I would consider "blender" food as truly pureed food, and I would consider fish to be more of a soft/mushy food. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jachut 487 Posted February 21, 2008 It was on my list of mushies - but I found fish to be rather difficult to handle, its still not an easy food for me to eat. Its something about the texture. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
4jin 0 Posted February 22, 2008 I have fish in my mushie list as well. sounds like you are doing good. Oh..you are so lucky 1st fill on Feb 28 and banded on Feb 1.....I was banded on Feb 4 but have to wait until March 19 for a fill. My doctor doesn't do until 6 weeks. darn!
