Yaaaaay for you!!!! I remember how awesome it was to actually have some food with TEXTURE again! Here are some of the things that I did when I got to the soft/mushy stage - hope these ideas help. Also, if you try something on the list and it doesn't set well, don't stress about it, just wait a few days and then try it again.

Scrambled eggs (still eat one every day - great protein)

hard boiled egg chopped up with a little fat free mayo, relish, salt & pepper makes a tiny egg salad

mashed potatoes & gravy (KFC, my first dining out experience and it was heaven!)

baked fish

cottage cheese

tuna or chicken salad

deli sliced turkey with a little laughing cow cheese spread on & rolled up (also good with garden veggie cream cheese)

any of the campbells chunky Soups put through the blender, divide into 1/4 c servings (loved chicken corn chowder!)

boiled shrimp (not sure if actually considered soft food, but I did it and it is a great source of protein)

Yoplait whips yogurt frozen taste just like ice cream

chili - Wendy's chili is awesome

refried Beans - another awesome :)

I know there are more - it's all I can think of at the moment, hope it gives you some ideas - happy eating!!!

The post-op diet that I have has for the soft/mushy stage:

chicken, tuna, egg salad (made with low fat mayo or plain yogurt)

lean ground meats or poultry

soft/moist fish

eggs

1% or fat-free cottage cheese

low-fat cheese

bean Soup (without meat)

soft cooked veggies

soft and/or peeled fruit

There's also a note that veggies and fruit are only to be added if Protein goal is met of 60-80 g/day)

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
