Post-op diet - mushy menus please!

dietpeach · July 23, 2008

Did you plan ahead for your post-op diet? I mean the mushy part where you have to puree your foods. Did you puree it in advance and freeze it?

Also, could you post what were some of your "favorite" mushy meals? I used to make my own baby food for my kids when they were babies, but I'm not sure if I would want to eat that stuff as a grown up (pureed chicken and carrots, etc.) I'm hoping you guys will have better suggestions. Thanks! :thumbup:

My wife and I fixed lots of Soups and ran them through the blender. Luckily the mushy state does not last all that long (though it seems like forever)

Hi

I just couldn't bring my self to puree anything, so I perferd to stick to Jello, popsciles and Protein drinks. Isopure Vanial and chocolate are really pretty good and also a drink Nectra is the brand Fuzzy Navel it is delicious. And broths. I was okay with all of it. Hang in there it too will pass. Good Luck

on my mushy diet we could have oatmeal, grits, eggs, cooked vggies that you can mash with a fork,mashed potatoes, chicken and fish,plus Protein Shakes and all liquid stuff.

i ate very boring... i made egg salad, i only used yolks because to me i hated trying to get egg whites to chew to mush.

i made chicken salad in the food processor. since it was just for 2 weeks for me i kept it simple.

Take 1/4 c cottage cheese adn 1/4 cup pregrilled chicken strips and 2 tablespoons of shredded cheddar cheese. put in food processor....it is like chicken salad and really yummy. can be heated in microwave for a dip!!!

Iv living on chicken salad, no onions or celery of course, just the chicken and mayo. Im going to try fish soon, and not add the mayo, I dont seem to need things this mushy imo. Instant oatmeal and eggs for Breakfast and a Protein shake.

I could have egg salad too if I wanted a change up, but as Im having scrambled eggs, enough eggs to me.
