First off I am quite excited to be post on this side of the form FINALLY!! Anyway I am 2 weeks and a day our of surgery and FINALLY I am moving onto mushy foods but I need a little help. I am going food shopping tonight for some mushy food menu items and I am kind of at a loss. I am going to pick up yogurt and ricotta cheese and some cauliflower that I can mash. Anyone have any other suggestions!?!?! Thanks so much!

Just realized my typo on the title should read "Mushy Food Menu" sorry!! lol

My mushie staples were scrambled eggs, fat free refried beans with cheese, ricotta cheese with tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese, tuna and chicken salad (my NUT allowed me this on mushies but not everyone does) and greek yogurt. You can also take ricotta cheese, add splenda, a little vanilla and lemon zest and get a nice little dessert.

I second the tuna salad. It keeps me the most full and it has helped regulate my digestion.....I've also done fried eggs (well fried with pam spray, not oil) and asparagus cooked really soggy. I haven't tried the re-fried beans because I'm already having gas issues, but it sounds yummy. We've also gotten talapia that cooks up pretty soft.

Thank you both. I had a scrambled egg this morning with some cheese and it was AMAZING! Funny party is I hate eggs lol.

I should of probably added that I am somewhat of a picky eater. So although most of this stuff sounds good I don't like a lot of it but then again look at what happened with the eggs.

I love baked ricotta with spaghetti sauce on top. Takes care of my pizza/ pasta cravings. Scrambled eggs, pudding, cottage cheese. Avacado is a good one too.

I like the laughing cow cheese

i bought a pack of single serving containers of mott's blueberry applesauce (no sugar added) and pour it over cottage cheese and it's like dessert, except with protein! so yummy!!

I've been on mushies now for four day and some of the things on my list from my nutritionist are banana w/ peanut butter, fat free refried beans, chili (blended a bit to take out the chunks), hummus, tuna fish, canned chicken (like for chicken salad), mashed sweet potatoes, oatmeal, yogurt, sugar free pudding and any fish w/ cooked veggies. So far it hasn't been too bad and I'm so thankful for anything other than soup!! Good luck!
