I am preparing for the second phase of my diet post op. Does anybody have any ideas for mush Breakfast lunch and dinners?!? Also, I need to purchase a food puree machine. Does anybody have any ideas!!

Thanks, Happy Holidays

I love oatmeal for breakfast, It goes down good and its filling, just thin it out a little bit with more Water or milk. I love maple & brown sugar flavor or add a little brown sugar to plain. Or you could just have a Protein shake if that is your preference.

lunch and dinner, I've been having a lot of Chili, egg salad, tuna/chicken salad, mashed potatoes, refried Beans, try bean Soup (like campbells bacon and bean), or any liquid soup. I prefer to not do soup because it doesn't have as much protein.

I bought one of those stick blenders, they are like $30 http://www.amazon.com/Cuisinart-CSB-76BC-SmartStick-200-Watt-Immersion/dp/B000EGA6QI

that is easiest, you can mix up Protein shakes or puree your food right in the pot or the glass. I haven't had to puree, my purees.. I just make sure it's really soft food, no hard chunks and it goes down fine.

just type in search mushies recipes or something like that. there are 100 other posts like this one further back in the reel of this forum

my tips for mushies:

get creative, make food fun, add in Protein powder when u can and incorporate stuff YOU LIKE. depriving urself of things u like will lead to failure later on because perfection is impossible to achieve.

I have a Magic Bullet and use it all the time (even prior to surgery). I'm not quite to mushy food yet (just a few more days!) but I add unflavored Protein powder to absolutely everything. The Magic Bullet is great because the cups can go in the microwave, dishwasher, etc.

No ideas for mushies but anxious to see other replies.
