im on the mushy stage and would love to hear what u eat for a day. potatos r gettin old. need ideas my stomach seems to be soo hungry lately that i need variety.

I wont reach the mushy stage myself until Sunday, but I've seen (read) people talk about eggs, fat free refried Beans with cheese, oatmeal, cottage cheese, rice pudding, baby food, mashed potatos...etc

A lot of people seem to add canned tuna and seasoning to cottage cheese and eat that.

I think all of this sounds pretty good. But then again, I am in the liquid phase... ANYTHING sounds good to me

I was banded on Jan 5th and have been eating a lot of eggs, cheese, chicken salad, tuna salad, seafood salad, green beans, soft fish and yogurt. I have also been eating Ritz crackers which I don't think is a good thing so don't eat those ; ) ( puree the salads in a blender)

What kind of chicken salad? Recipe?

I bought some already cooked chicken and added a tiny bit of fat free sour cream, and ff mayo to make it moist plus seasonings

I'm not home yet but I will post a recipe that I got from my Weight Loss Surgery for Dummies book when I get home..it has helped me tremendously through this whole experience. It has a lot of food suggestions and recipes based on which stage you are in.

Didn't you get a food plan from the nutrionist at the surgeons office. I am 2 weeks post op I have lost 20lbs. so far. Yesterday was my 2 week follow up and I started mushy food yesterday. I have a sample menu plan I can tell you some of the things that are on it are pretty good. So along with the egg salad and tuna and chicken salad we can eat, there is things like 2slices of thin deli meat, chili, mushy fruit like honeydew and strawberries. metalballs anything in a gravy or sauce not drenched in it. the NP at the practice said anthing that can be mashed with the back of a fork.

Wendys Chilli!!!!
