Hi all,

I am 8 days post op and I started my mushies this morning. I made 2 very soft scrambled eggs with a tiny bit of low fat cheese and some Sugar Free chocolate pudding. I only made it through one egg and finished 1/4 cup of my pudding. The eggs went down fine, but I was a little nervous eating them.

I still don't really get hungry. I just make sure that I eat 3 times per day. I'm still having trouble getting all of my Protein in. The Protein drinks are so filling a disgusting. Hopefully I will be able to get more protein in the foods that I eat now that I am on mushies. I am thinking tuna with low fat mayo for lunch.

My menu plan has low fat crackers on it for the mushies stage. How is a cracker a mushie?? Did anyone else eat crackers?

How's everyone else doing on mushies? What are some of your favorite, easiest mushies?

i actually got the idea off of here in one of the groups. Low fat refried beans, low fat shredded cheese heated up, then fat free sour cream small amount and taco sauce. Tastes like a burrito without the carbs.

Yummy! That sounds delish. I will give it a try!

i did the same thing with the refried beans. i was also in loe with scrambled eggs and mashed potatoes

My fav mushie to this day is refried beans. Also try LF ricotta cheese over some pasta sauce and a bit of mozzerella. Put it in the microwave and it is sorta like mock lasagna. When you get to the next stage, add some zuchinni to it. Mashed cauliflower is always good. Also instead of mayo with your tuna, try mashing it with a slice of avocado. I also liked hard boiled eggs mashed real fine with avocado.

I tried the refried beans for dinner tonight. They were delish! I also was able to get all of my protein in without having to drink any nasty protein shakes today. Yay me!!!!!

I'm suprised about crackers being listed. I think the rational is that if you chew it really well it becomes mush.

I bought some crackers, but haven't had enough courage to eat any yet. Maybe in a couple of weeks!
