Hello!!

I will be one week post op tomorrow yay!! This is all moving so fast for me. I was wondering if anyone had any good ideas for mushie foods.. I have Protein shakes Jello cream of wheat tuna & egg salad but I was wondering if there was any other ideas people found easy to eat. Thank you for your time and can not wait to hear back this site is amazing!!

I ate cottage cheese and bought a cheap food processor! That allowed me to eat chilli and all types of beans:) good luck

Thank you I have to do something... Im having an emotional break down and its sad this early in but I dont know what to do I feel lost

Dont feel bad im haveing the same emotional breakdown and im 2 weeks post op!

Try low fat refried beans with some pureed salsa mixed in to make them looser. You can add a bit of low fat sour cream as well. I also made a mock lasagna by microwaving jarred pasta sauce with some low fat riccota cheese and some mozzerella. Very good. You can eat yogurt as long as it is smooth, no fruit chunks. Cook cauliflower florets in chicken broth until very soft. Mash with a little low fat sour cream and parm.

All of this sounds delicious. I am sooooo hungry for something other than this bullcrap liquid diet right now. And I still have 4 days till my appointment. I feel like this is literally a starvation diet I'm on right now. Sorry for the venting, but POD4 isn't bringing anything happier my way.

Hang in there guys, it will get easier! I honestly can't believe how fast the first year went for me.

Thank you all for the kind words and ideas it is greatly appreciated!! I think I was just having a moment eveyone in my house is eating regular food and have no worries and I just feel alone but this site is helping thank you thank you thank you!

hummus has a lot of protein.

smooth peanut butter

you can have chicken if you put it in the bullet/blender/ food processor.

they also have chicken in a can.

i put everything in the magic bullet and made it mushie.

Good luck

Low fat cottage or ricotta cheese. Mix tuna or egg with low fat laughing cow cheese instead of may. I would say no to peanut butter. I justified that it was a mushie and had protein and was eating way way way to much of it. It has way to much fat and sugar. I used a stick blender to mince up the fruit in greek yogurt. Added splendra because it is pretty sour.

Responding to some of you feeling emotional breakdowns. I read that this happens often int the first few months po. This is in part due to a huge estrogen drop caused by the high protien low carb diet, similar to Baby blues after birth, and many people feel irritable and regretful during this time. I happen to believe the estrogen drop thing because after a week on the preop diet I started my period which has been absent for years due to my weight.
