I tried to eat a scrambled egg yesterday and it didn't go down well at all. I didn't get through half of it & I was very uncomfortable. I was careful to eat small bites, chew well, and eat slowly...but I guess I could have eaten too fast. I don't particularly like eggs anyway, but I know it's a good source of protein so I was willing to eat it. I don't think I'll be trying it again for a while.

Jenn, I tried yesterday and it was awful. I've heard from a few other people that they just couldn't do eggs at all. It feels like it gets stuck. I'm back to a protein shake today. How're you doing?

That's exactly how it felt for me...like it got stuck. Horrible feeling!:ohmy:

I didn't eat anything else the rest of the night after that and I did a Protein shake this am. Right now I am eating some Nutrisystem homestyle mashed potatoes I had left after my last diet attempt. They are good & have added protein. They seem to be going down fine (as does refried Beans, if I eat slowly).

I love sushi so I bought some ahi and ground it up really well with ponzu sauce and shiso leaf. It has a ton of Protein and it goes down really well. I'm not sure raw fish paste is for everyone but it works for me!

I tried refried Beans and they felt too sticky & thick.

It seems like most of the mushy foods are high carb/lower protein. I have some ricotta cheese that I'm going to try later today. We'll see.

Can I drown mine in ketchup?????

I start mushies/purees on Sunday....I can't wait!

I'm really looking forward to Beans.

Yuck! I do not eat fish, period. I know it's a great source of Protein, but it makes me want to gag just thinking about it! However, I am glad you found a good protein for you while on mushies. That's a good thing!

As far as the refried Beans, I thinned it out with taco sauce and a bit of sour cream...then chewed the dickens out of it! :ohmy: It's actually probably going to be my biggest mushie source of protein because I can't see blenderizing any meat and eating it! I'm not a big meat eater anyway, so that totally grosses me out.

I thought eggs would be a good protein, but it didn't work out as planned.

I'm with you on this one....

and LORD you made me hungry with that bean 'recipe'...LOL

My wife can't eat eggs, but egg beaters work just fine. They are better for you anyway.

Eggs are a mushie in some programs but they are rather high up on the food chain so a lot of people can't deal with them this early out. For me they were a lifesaver, though.

Someone mentioned ricotta and that reminded me of a couple of recipes Lulu shared with me when I was on mushies that I really enjoyed. Here they are:

ricotta bake:

1 container skim ricotta 15oz

1 frozen pckg of spinach thawd/drained well - you can also use any veggie - sometimes i'll take zuchinni/eggplant and saute till soft

1/2 cup parmesean cheese

1 egg

mix all together - put in a baking dish - add another 1/2c cheese on top and bake @ 350 till golden & bubbly - about 30mins

*i'll add some marinara or pesto sauce on top once done*

luff -

1 15oz container of lf ricotta

1 small tub of ff cool whip

half packet of sf Jello cheesecake pudding mix

half packet of sf chocolate pudding mix

combine - set over night - YUM

wow susan that sounds yummy

Can you post the receipe for the ahi tuna paste. I am several weeks away from mushies but love ahi tuna.

Thanks, Deanna

TennJenn - I still have trouble with eggs -- scrambled that is; I tried poached and they go down very easy ... scrambled and poached are the only 2 ways I will eat eggs -- and they by far aren't my favorite food.

I did the same thing with the refried Beans - taco sauce and sour cream - made them moister and a bit "thinner" so they went down easy - of course, it took me most of the day to eat the small container you get at Taco Bell.

I forgot about the ricotta cheese eeryone talked about -- may have to give that a try - Bearded may like it too.

This is my third day of mushies, and I'm digging the tuna salad I made the other day. I put two hard boiled eggs in it. I'm about to eat some in a few minutes!

Other than that, I've tried chili with a little cheese and sour cream, but I'm ready for some Beans too. I'd love some baked beans, but I know that isn't the best choice.

Amanda, how did you do the tuna salad? Did you put it in the blender? I like boiled eggs, but I am scared to try it after the scrambled egg fiasco. :thumbup:

Vegas, what does ricotta cheese taste like? I'm scared to try it! :ohmy:

I made egg salad on mushies and it went down great. I could not eat very much, but it was easy to eat. Boiled eggs, low fat mayo or miracle whip light, and a tiny bit of mustard.
