It seems that every NUT is different and everyone is on a different diet schedule. So, my question is when did/can you start mushies and what are your mushies? I am at day 18 (sleeved 12/7) and I can start mushies on day 22 or starting my 4th week. My mushies are puddings, jellos, mashed potatoes, deli meats, yogurts, scrambled eggs, etc. Anyway, I am just curious because I am dying to take a bite, but I am such a rule follower. Thanks for any input. :confused_smile:

I could start mushies about the same time. Mushies, purees, solid foods were all in one category for my guidelines. Anything that I could put in the blender, or chew to mush counted. chicken, tuna, egg salad and deli meat with cream cheese were my staples. I had refried or pinto Beans on occasion for some Fiber and different flavors. I added plain non-fat greek yogurt to anything and everything for added Protein.

I could have soft poached, scrambled, deviled eggs as well, but scrambled eggs (even at 18 months out) sit extremely heavy in my stomach regardless of how well I chew them. It doesn't hurt, but they did early out.

I guess it is different for everyone. I can start mushies on day 14. So, according to my doc, you could have them already :-)

Mine was

1st week = full liquid diet

2nd week = mushies and puree foods

3rd week = soft foods - anything I can separate with a fork without needing a knife

4th week = whatever I feel comfortable with

So far so good...

I am 18 days out and just started mushies...feeling good and no problems (fingers crossed) I have tried a small bit of fish and very cooked zucchini. Still not getting enough protein but I am trying to get it in anywhere I can

The mushies scare me a little: I am losing very quickly now and I am afraid that if I introduce something other than protein shakes, my loss will slow, stop, or even **gasp** reverse...

Thoughts? Anyone start gaining after they started the mushies??
