Hey all How are you???

Well its been 16 days since my surgery and I really need some mushy food ideas. Ive been eating tons of Jello, Apple Sauce, scrambled egg, and creamed Soup but OMgosh Im already bored. Im very picky so I wont eat anything like cottege cheese So not sure what else is out there. Anything you could throw my way would be so helpful....

One more thing, Why isn't the scale going down? I lost 21 pounds the first 10 days but this last week Its really been nothing I'm so upset and was hoping to get another 15 off before my cruise on July 4. I was okayed to start swimming and doing Water fitness last week but my tummy was hurting so decided to wait until next week to start back. Has another else had a stale in there second week and then what happened??

Thanks a bunch

I've got an idea which I'm going to be trying this week when I swap to mushies....

Corned beef - mixed with onions (dry fry the onions off to soften them), then top with cottage cheese which you have mixed with a beaten egg, maybe adding a bit of mixed herbs of tarragon in with the egg mix too. They are like a quiche - with the corned beef being the 'pastry' base.

I'm going to try making them in a muffin tin, so I get bite size ones - the texture is mushy so I think they'll go down a treat, and when I've made it before although I made one big version they were good hot or cold.

Hi, Surgery tomorrow and I'm amazingly calm. I just wanted to join this thread for future use. Great ideas.......I'm looking forward to getting to this stage.

Good luck with your surgery.... let us know how you get on.

Try this--it's like a mushy deviled egg thing.

Makes 4 servings

4 medium eggs, boiled

Dice eggs and put in food processor with 2 TB low-fat mayo, 1 tsp dried minced onion, 2 tsp Dijon mustard, 2 tsp paprika, salt and pepper to taste. Puree it, divide into 4 servings, and mush out!

You can try some baby food too. The small jars are a good size.

Wow, suchj great ideas! I'm so bored on full liquids I could just shoot someone! Saturday brings me to mushies, and I know I'm going to be a happier person because of it! These are great ideas, and they're on my shopping list! You guys are wonderful!
