What are you eating on the mushy phase...



Recommended Posts

I've gone through some of the recipes and tried them, but I would love to know what others are eating. I am getting a little tired of mushies...two nights ago I had my husband bring me a piece of cheesecake from Luby's and that was my dinner. It was good, but not the best choice :smile:

I have done Lentil Soup twice and blended it. I have made the black bean Soup recipe that is in the recipe section and blended it and it is good. Lots of potato soup and mashed potatos. I eat scrambled eggs every morning. I tried fish and it got stuck, so my dr said to wait another week and try it again. This is what I had yesterday...

Breakfast: coffee

2 hours later--scrambled egg with cottage cheese in it to make it runnier.

Lunch: cottage cheese mixed with salsa

Snack: yogurt

Dinner: Went out to dinner, had a bowl of baked potato soup.

Tonight I am going to make a big pot of vegetable beef soup for the family. I won't eat the meat, just the veggies and blend it up and that will give me something to eat at work the next couple of days.

How bout oatmeal, applesauce, refried Beans with a little cheese. I am so sick of creamy Soup, and I am sure the sodium in it can not be good for me! Just some suggestions...

Layer 1/2 cup refried Beans, 1/4 cup mashed potatoes microwave with cheddar cheese. YUMMY! I still eat this one. Another is to blend veggie chili. Melt cheddar cheese over it and add fat free sour cream. Lastly, 1/2 cup ricotta cheese, layer with your favorite spaghetti sauce and sprinkle mozzarella cheese over it. It's like noodleless lasagna. Good luck!

I found my fave today... my bf got me the magic bullet yesterday at costco (great deal BTW) and we also picked up a rotisserie chicken there as well. So yesterday I blended some of the chicken and had some for dinner with Greek yogurt and tabasco for some flavor. So today I had some more of the chicken mush with fat free refried Beans, added bacon salt (the best invention ever) and some cheese. It was so good but unfortunately I got full so fast that I had to save the rest for later. Today is the first day that I actually got full so quickly... I am only 2 wks post op and have no fills yet, but I guess the band is working for me already :frown:.

So I highly recommend the bullet or any other type of blender thingee because I was also sick of the cream Soups.

I've discovered my little ramikins - those small white bowls that you can put in the microwave or the oven. They're the perfect portion size, and you can cook in them so easily!

So for Breakfast, I put a little melted butter, one egg, a tablespoon of Tomato sauce, and a grating of low-fat mozzarella cheese. Cook it for one minute (or less if you want it runnier) in the microwave on high. Yum!

Then for lunch, it's 2.5 tbs of low fat ricotta cheese, salt, pepper, oregano and parsley, and a little garlic, with grated mozzarella cheese and tomato sauce to top, in the oven on 375 for 15 minutes. The center of a lasagna without the Pasta. It's great with spinich in it too! And try sun-dried tomatos. YUM!

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
