Mushy Stage

[Bevanne 0]

I will be into the mushy stage soon. I would love some ideas and advice on what to eat? The full liquids is challenging for me to a degree. I find myself sooooo hungry! What helped everyone get thru the mushys? any favorites to share?

Refried Beans with cheese

Mashed potatoes

I could have soft, mushed up meats like chicken and tuna salad.

eggs (scrambled still doesn't work for me), but egg salad was great.

hummus

applesauce

yogurts without fruit or seeds

laughing cow cheese

I could have all soft cooked veggies, but avoided anything with a thick skin like corn, and high glycemic index veggies. Green Beans were and broccoli florets were fabulous.

Thanxs Tiff...when you started mushies, did you then create the 3 meals a day, with liquids in between? How much do you think you actually consumed at each meal oz wise ?

I was instructed to eat 4 meals per day that consisted of a minimum of 15 grams of Protein. It was tough, and some days I couldn't get it all in. But, as the days and weeks progressed, it became easier. I was able to get 2-4oz of mushies in. I would sometimes have to stretch out the meal to 40 minutes to get my protein goals.
