Going out to dinner on mushies??



Recommended Posts

My surgeon specifically told me to avoid Pasta as it can expand in your pouch. I just went out to dinner with my daughter (I was banded on the 4th) and am at the tail end of mushies/starting soft. I ordered a chicken quaesadilla. I basically scraped out the cheese, chicken and veggies, cut/mashed it with a fork, took super small bited and chewed A LOT before swallowing! It was fine and very satisfying. Of course I could only eat 1/4 of it!

Maybe they'll be quiche or crab cake??/

When I was on mushies I went out to eat with my family several times. I ate mashed potatoes a few times, but the real treat was manicotti. Just open the shell and eat the cheese inside with the marinara sauce. Very yummy. I also at a cheese enchilada the same way, just avoiding the tortilla. Most restaurants are willing to let you order a la carte. I ordered just one piece of manicotti or one enchilada, or just a side of mashed potatoes. It was usually about 2 to 3 dollars. My husband tells me I'm a cheap date now. He really means it in a nice way.

Thanks! I was looking at the menu and they do have crabcakes.

What about something like chicken noodle Soup or another soup with soft chunks?

I was invited to go out to dinner while on mushies. Any ideas what I could order? I don't think there will be eggs. Is Pasta of any kind considered mushy?

Doctor told me no Pasta or bread because they swell when they get wet. I went out on Mushies and ate Soup, broiled fish, and mashed potatoes. All of them are soft.

The Soup would be fine just be absolutely sure the chunks are soft and that when you put it in your mouth you chew or mushy it up really good before you swallow. When I was on the mushies and went out, I loved the crab cakes, mashed potatoes and I also ordered peas and just took my fork and mushed them up real good before I ate them.

I had stuffed shells that I "unstuffed" and 1 meatball that I mashed to death!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
