Question about mushies

[Hackettsue 0]

I was banded Jan 19th and get to start on mushies/pureed food tomorrow. My question is if I have say a soft scrambled egg, or cottage cheese, or refried Beans, or ricotta cheese, do I need to put it in the blender and puree it or can I eat it as is? I am confused as to what is the difference between mushies and pureed? Thanks much for any clarifications.

I could eat it as is.

I didn't puree those. Just make sure with the scrambled egg that you do chew it.

I did not have to blend mine. And I used low fat cheese with my scrambled egg and scrambled it soft.

They told me that pureed was anything the consistency of applesauce. If you like refried Beans, you could pulverize some chunky salsa in the blender, mix that in, heat for a minute or two in the microwave, then melt some Kraft fat free shredded mozarella on top. I even squeezed some cheese into Tomato Soup. Kraft fat free slices, broken up will melt in Tomato Soup. More liquid than mushy, but something to think about, maybe after a fill. I could have instant mashed potatoes, too. I heated fat free gravy to put on them. Congratulations on your banding, and good luck on your journey.

I have trouble eating eggs (even scrambled), especially in the morning when I am tightest.

If you want to try them, take a small bite and wait to see how it goes down before eating too much.

Isn't that strange? I am the same way now. I had no problems at first, but after my second fill, sometimes scrambled eggs give me problems.

Is there a difference between pureed and mushies? (different substance?)

My nutritionist told me that I didn't need to puree scrambled eggs or applesauce. She did tell me not to have the eggs in the morning.
