Ok....all that comes to mind when I think of the mushies stage is Soup and applesauce. Can I get some help brain storming what would be good during this stage?

:help:

Get yourself a food processor and blend (puree) anything within reason your heart desires. My DH thought I was insane when I was in the mushie stage. I pureed cheeseburgers, pizza, spaghetti and everything I served him for dinner or lunch. Variety is the key to success, so don't limit yourself, just use your imagination. Best of luck!

~The following foods are on my mushy food stage from my surgeon ~

1. refriedbeans toped with cheese

2. cottage cheese & soft low fat cheeses

3. pudding

4. cream of wheat/grits(Sorry I'm from Mississippi) HAHA!!!

5. yogurt

6. Jello

7. mashed potatoes

8. scrambled eggs

9. Tuna

10.Plain crackers

11. lowfat milk

12. soups(cream or pureed)

~Anything that you can blend or puree fruit/vegtables/soups/meats...as long as it turns to mush you can eat it!!! Good luck!!

Okay.....so cheese is considered a mushy food? That's great if it is! Ahhhhh.......and I LOVE cream of wheat. I hadn't thought about that. Great suggestions. Thanks and keep them coming bandsters!!

Pam - when you blended the hamburger..did you include cheese, bun, mustard, ketchup?? I'm so curious! I'm totally ready to try it.

Im on Day 15 post op and now on mushy foods. Can you guys tell me how many calories you are getting in a day in this stage or the recommended amount of calories you should have?

Sorry...I don't know. I'm still learning myself. I'm not exactly supposed to be in this stage yet!
