What I did was go to the nutrition part on here. It gives a bunch of suggestions on mushy foods. I printed out the recipes I liked the best. There is one with cream of wheat that was delish. I really like FF refried bean, light sour cream, little shredded cheese, and taco sauce. Not salsa. I bought the Taco Bell sauce. it was great. and a little hambuger meat seasoned with taco seasoning... Blend it all up with a hand blender and micro.... It was great. It was the first mushy I had and I swear I will def have it again...

This is my favorite also. I am one year out and I STILL love my ff refried Beans, low fat cheddar with ff sour cream. I eat it at least twice a week!!

I also would put many things we cooked in the food processor. Ex: taco Soup and chili..both topped with the cheddar and sour cream. Also, steak and gravy and stew. As long as you blend the heck out of it, you should be able to have it. Just make sure you add extra liquid while blending to get it the correct consistency. I used broth usually.

It will be the best thing you have ever put in your mouth. It is amazing how good anything tastes when you have been on liquids FOREVER.

If you are seasoning and baking it yourself, it should be fine. If it is prebreaded, it may not be flaky enough for the mushy stage.< /p>

oh the salsa/sour cream was one of my fav's pre-op (with chips of course)! Can't wait to nix the chips and add FF refried beans!!!!!!!!!

I was logging in as well to find more recipes so thanks for posting! I have been on mushies for 2 days and all I've eaten is pudding, oatmeal and Soup.

My MIL has been banded so knew what to make me..She cooked me instant mashed potato Soup :smile2:. She made it with sour cream and chive instant mashed potatoes so it was extra yummy!!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
