Actually, mashed up tater tots isn't considered mushy. They're fried and solid even if smashed into smaller pieces.

Try mashed potatoes, they fit in the mushy diet.

I guess that you may be correct in your assessment...there are no "food police" to assist you to make healthy and appropriate food choices 24/7.

The band is highly self empowering...you determine the level of your success with your weight loss journey by the choices you make every day to eat healthy and exercise.

If you are not successful, you have only yourself to hold accountable for the end result.

Get you mind set that "I worked hard to get this surgery, and I am gonna stick with it". There are many things you can blend. At the mushy stage, I was craving flavor, so I ate a lot of spicy stuff. Hang in there. You won't have great restriction yet, but it will get better once you get a fill.

Good Luck!

I was too scared to cheat... I was afraid i wouldnt heal or lose. Not saying you won't lose or heal... Just letting you know what worked for me. That said I didn't veer off the drs recommendations during liquids or mushies. I tracked my calories from the beginning and the results have been fabulous.

I am sure you will find what works for you. Good luck.

i loved refried Beans with with taco sauce in the mushy stage, added low fat shredded cheese and fat free sour cream was so good lol

I did the refried Beans, and ground chile in the blender..but the gas after surgery was very painful...GasX comes in a disolvable tab, and comes in handy.
