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.

      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.
