tomorrow i will be able to eat (smiling) soft/mushy/pureed foods.

can you take a moment and advise me the different types of food you

have eaten when you were at this stage of the band life. ( i am currently 13 days post op).

i appreciate any responses

My favorite was pureed canned chicken with a spoon of fat-free sour cream and a spoon of low-cal vegetable flavored cream cheese. I would also puree some tuna with the healthiest mayo I could find and some garilc. By the time I hit the mushy stage, I was dying for some flavor! I also took fat-free refried beans, a spoon of fat-free sour cream, and some hot sauce. Taste just like the inside of a Taco Bell bean burrito! Greek yogurt was also a staple, as well as V8 juice.

geez that sounds yummy jen! ive got 10 days til mushies!! Im counting down!

Ugh I am starving! I am still on liquids and look forward to some food!!

def happy tomorrow is coming

I have had cottage pie, baked fish with mash, mashed sweet potato and Carrots. Today i tried some fresh Pasta with spinach and ricotta in a tomato based sauce. Very nice! Tomorrow i.m having fish pie for tea. Still unsure of how much i should be eating so i.m sticking to side plate portions. Can.t wait to speak to the Dietician.

My mushies were divided into two sections. Week three was greek yogurt (used hand blender to mince the fruit, and added fat free milk to thin it out) and low fat/cal cottage or ricotta. Week four was canned chicken or tuna. I mixed those with low fat laughing cow cheese, much better than mayo. For chicken and tuna my doctor said to weight them out to 3 oz.

These all sound like yummies ideas. I am not sure about refried beans, I have heard to many war stories about them. My dr. says one cup of high protein food three tims a day. I have canned chicken and tuna ready. I will have to try the skinny cow cheese and fat free sourcream instead of miracle whip.

lassie

Salmon with mashed Pot

Any soft fish no bones.

Tuna mixed with laughing cow cheese a little onion chopped very small

Hummis with saltine crackers (get the mini ones)

Refried Beans with low fat sour cream and a little cheese melted on top.

Cottage cheese and fruit just make sure it is very small and sugar free the diced fruit is best.

Soup soup and more soup just pick what you like and make sure it is small bites. My doc said that as long as the pieces were small I could eat it.

Egg scrambled in the microwave for a min.

Love having a latte nonfat no sugar yum. 16 oz is about 18 Proteins.
