Moxi 0 Posted November 21, 2009 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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AbersmomRN 0 Posted November 21, 2009 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??/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lamber2299 0 Posted November 21, 2009 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Moxi 0 Posted November 21, 2009 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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Astrasmom 1 Posted November 21, 2009 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.

greytz 4 Posted November 21, 2009 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.
