What are you eating?



Recommended Posts

Hi! I had surgery on 1/16/09 and am on the mushy stage but I'm finding myself getting bored. What are you eating? I'm having a little bit of a hard time getting my Protein in because, frankly, I can't imagine eating pureed meat.:eek:

Help! I've already lost 20lbs and I don't want to stop there!! Thank you so much!! :bored:

If I remember correctly during mushies I ate:

  • refried Beans with fat free sour cream and reduced fat cheddar cheese
  • homemade chili put through a food processor and topped with ff sour cream and cheese
  • chicken salad and tuna salad made using a food processor
  • homemade Soups, yes, I put this in a processor also, but they taste better than canned
  • sf pudding, favorite is dark chocolate; this saved me; ate it every night before bed, I still do if I am hungry late at night

1. Meal Replacement shakes

2. Scrambled eggs, omelets and fritattas

3. Baked fish, chicken or turkey. I did use a mini-food processor, but only to chop the meat into tiny chunks, not all the way to a puree.

4. Lean ground beef, finely crushed. (I didn't manage this until toward the end of my mushy phase. It wouldn't stay down.)

5. Dried Beans, peas, and lentils -- well cooked to mush

6. Cottage cheese and ricotta cheese, mixed with Splenda and flavorings. (No fruit except well-processed berries)

7. Egg, chicken, tuna, or turkey salads.

Hello,

During the Mush stage I ate alot of Blended sheppards pie, chicken pot pie (just the filling), chilli. I found that this type of food blended easily (sometimes I had to add Chic broth or ff milk) to thin it out. I usually had what my family had for dinner - fish chowder (blended) was also good.

Good luck on your journey

Sharon

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
