Hi!

I wanted to know if anyone had a hard time finding soft mushy foods to eat?

not really. There's tons of things. Just about anything you can mash with a fork will work.

Cottage cheese, tuna salad, chicken salad, meatloaf (mash it first), spaghetti sauce. Many Soups will qualify for mushy. Egg salad.

go to BariatricEating.com - BE, Inc. The number one bariatric website for Protein, Vitamins, and success. and look at their recipes.

yogurt, applesauce, pudding, soup, chili, smoothies, cottage cheese, oatmeal, cream of wheat,

tuna salad .........

I pureed a lot of soups at this stage. Mashed potatoes, cottage cheese, a lot of stuff. Baby food.

Thanks everyone!

A Hint I got from another poster was using low fat laughing cow cheese to mix in shredding chicken. So much better than mayo. Tastes better and lower calories and fat. You can also heat it up in the microwave.

For mushies I also liked egg beaters with low fat chive cottage cheese added at the very end. Adds nice cheesy flavor.

I have ever been a cottage cheese fan but I also discovered I liked cottage cheese with pineapple.
