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.

Love the idea of flavoring the yogurt with fruit preserve...amazing!
