The definition of mushy may vary but mine was Potato Soup. Love it from the can or from cafes.

Congrats!!!

My favorite mushy food is turkey bacon guacamole. I cook and crumble 1-2 slices turkey bacon...1/2 avacado...maybe 2 or 3 grape tomatoes..tiny bit of purple onion...cut up very fine. I add 1 tsp of miracle whip and salt to taste. Then smash it all up with a fork. It is so good, I can eat it by itself, or sometimes I will eat it on a cracker. It makes a great lunch or dinner, and all of the ingredients are so good for you....well, maybe not the miracle whip, but I only use 1 teaspoon.

mmm...sounds good! I'm very encouraged by both of your weight loss too! Vegasgrace, did you really drop from 256 to 137? Congratulations!!! I need all your helpful hints!

Also, I'm scheduled for a cruise in July so my Dr is postponing my first fill to afterwards...which is a relief for me! Anyone been on a cruise after bandlife? There's TONS of food, so it should be interesting!!

I just returned from a cruise and came home 1/2 pound lighter than when I left! It was a little frustrating at times - cruises are known for their good food, in abundance! The good thing about it is that the portions are not huge so you can order a few courses and eat a bit of each and not overdo it. I'd order salad and an entree at dinner (when everyone else ordered appetizers and Soup besides) and only eat a few bites of each (I'm really tight, had a fill just before I left - I wanted to be tight, I know that's weird but I couldn't bear the thought of gaining anything) I ordered dessert almost every night at dinner and still lost that 1/2 pound. Some tips: I took the stairs instead of the elevator whenever possible. I walked a lot on shore excursions (I tried to choose ones that I knew involved lots of activity) I didn't drink calories - I know that's really hard for some people, but I'm not a huge drinker so not having alcohol wasn't that huge a deal for me - I'd rather have ice cream than a margarita. I drank Water. I didn't eat anything between meals (that wasn't that hard - I ate enough at meals that I wasn't hungry between meals, half the time I wasn't hungry when I sat down to a meal either!) Have fun on your cruise!

I loved pureed cabbage Soup and lentil soup. There are also many things you can add to mashed potatoes to make them yummy. Good luck!

Thanks for the cruise tips! I'll be sure to keep those in mind!!

Hopefully I won't gain too much! I'm going to enjoy myself....and still try to watch the calorie intake!

I had a good mushie dinner tonight. I made mashed potatoes and threw in 2 chick-fil-a nuggets and blended it in my magic bullet. It tasted like thanksgiving (ok, maybe not exactly like it but it was good)

I had 'nachos'. I took refried Beans, about 4 tortilla chips, 2 small pieces of fajita chicken, cheese, salsa and Water and pureed. topped with a tiny slice of avocado and a tiny dab of sour cream. It was yummy!! Only thing missing was the margarita :confused_smile:
