mushy food examples



Recommended Posts

Your dietician should give you a list, but on mine I could have instant mashed potatoes (I heated Fat Free gravy to give it some flavor), creamy egg/tuna/chicken salad (light mayo), instant oatmeal made kind of soppy with extra skim milk, refried Beans (my favorite-fat free refried Beans with salsa that I pulverized in the blender, mix them together and nuke a dessert size portion in the microwave for about 2 minutes-while still hot throw on some fat free shredded cheese), applesauce, cream Soups (a trick to get more protein--heat Healthy Request Tomato Soup, then break up slices of Kraft fat free cheese--creamy Tomato Soup with lots of protein),possibly scrambled eggs if you can make them soggy. Also Greek yogurt is thicker than most. If you have a Trader Joe store near you, they sell plain Greek yogurt in several varieties. The one I buy is fat free plain (container in shades of blue--the others don't have as much protein) in a 2 cup container. It has 22g Protein (22!!!) per cup, no fat, and only 6g sugar (naturally occurring milk sugar). I bring it home and divide it into half cup servings (11g Protein, 3g sugar), then for flavoring I add Smuckers sugar-free preserves, and sprinkle about a teaspoon of cinnamon. The Smuckers has no sugar and about 10 cal per tablespoon. You can't buy a commercial yogurt with that breakdown. I discovered the Trader Joe yogurt more recently. Originally I ate commercial fat free or lite, but they were on my ok list for liquids. The Greek yogurt is thicker and should suffice for a mushy. Basically they told me anthing that could be blended to the consistency of applesauce was ok. I have read where people blended chili even.

I hope this helps, and good luck on your journey.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
