Eetween purée and mushy... They seem the same... Are they?

Not sure what the technical difference is, but I would say puree is almost runny, like applesauce and mushy is more like lumpy mashed potatoes. Good luck to you!

Eetween purée and mushy... They seem the same... Are they?

Yes, and no..."mushies", as per the post op instruction book I was given are any soft food, which will be easier to digest, such as scrambled eggs, which do not have to be pureed if you chew them well.

I pureed everything, except the scrambled eggs during my "mushy" stage. Everything I wanted to eat that was allowed on my diet went into the blender first; chicken moistened with plain broth, overcooked broccoli, cauliflower and carrots, tuna, cantaloupe, strawberries. You can make the food "runny" if you want to by adding more moisture (broth or water) to the blender.

Many people have written that they survived this stage by having mashed potatoes. I was advised to avoid potatoes, as they lack the Protein we need for good nutrition, and are carbs.

Week three I was allowed yogurt, cottage and ricotta cheese. Week four I could add scrambled eggs and cannned chicken or tuna.

I was on straight protein shakes and drinks until week 3 after that I loved beans! I made tons of black beans with salsa and avocado and puréed it!
