My favorite mushy meal



Recommended Posts

So, I know this isn't the food/recipes forum, but I just had to share my favorite fulfilling mushy dinner so far.

I put a can fat free refried Beans, a half a cup of salsa, about a tablespoon of cottage cheese, and a sprinkle of taco seasoning in the food processor and pureed until smooth. I then measured out a half cup of the mixture, sprinkled some shredded cheese on top and warmed it up in the microwave. I finished it off with a small dollop of sour cream. It was shockingly tasty and very filling! My husband was having a very Mexican dinner that I couldn't have, and I didn't even feel deprived! I was so pleased with myself! lol. thumbup.gif

Thank you for sharing this with me. I can't wait to get to "mushie". This will be one of the first things I try.

Thanks for sharing that! I am still waiting for insurance approval but I still like to plan ahead! I was VERY worried about "mushy stage food" really not into that texture- but this sounds good. THX

Other than the cottage cheese, it sounds like pintos and cheese from taco bell. That's always been one of my favorites!!

BTW, I love your screen name. That is so cute!

Thanks Cindy! My name reflects my figure: short and stout. wink.gif Are the pintos and cheese at Taco Bell pureed like refried Beans?

Deli- You're welcome! Do you have to stay on liquids for three weeks?

Yes, they are refried Beans with taco sauce and melted cheese. Only 180 calories and 10g Protein.< /span>

My doctor make us stay on liquids for 2-3 weeks. I am doing really good and am losing weight so I think he may advance me when I see him on Monday.

I'm not allowed Beans or salsa (but I don't like them anyway so I guess that's ok) But if you like this, you might like chicken with the taco seasoning, cheese and fat free sour cream. I'm on pureed and have been putting that in my bullet and it's delicious! Which taco seasoning do you use? I love the el paso taco seasoning!

That doesn't make sense. Beans are really high in Protein and salsa has virtually no calories.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
