Hello all! Tuesday I am 3 weeks out and I can finally move from Clear Liquids to mushy foods. Can you all give me some of your favorite mushy foods so I can make a list for the grocery store? I walked into the store a few days ago for SF Popsicles and was so overwhelmed. So please help:)!!!

hi stacy

i never did the mushy stage - isn't that the one where you put food like chicken or whatever into the blender for a minute - yeach - couldn't even attempt that, just the thought...yeach

was never good on which stage etc. i "think" soft foods were next - cottage cheese, yogurt, - just wanted to give you a for instance, starting help - hoping someone will jump on the bandwagon and give more and possibly better advice,

good luck

I don't plan on blending - ill chew a lot. Unless that's an issue.

I said I wouldn't blend either but then realized that some things are hard to chew properly. For example, my husband just grilled some filet mignon, medium rare. I took a chunk of it and zapped it through my Ninja. Perfect!

Cottage cheese was a good start for a mushy. White fish was easy on me as was just about all forms of cheese. Also, chili was easy on me- I know a lot of others have a hard time with chop meat but for me I was okay.

I plan on ordering a lot of Miso Soup from the Japaneese grocery and adding lots of extra tofu! Protein packed! Also try endamame for a shot of protein and Fiber.< /p>

Cottage cheese, any cheese really, canned chili if you like it some of them have 0 carbs and up to 25-30g of Protein per serving, Subway tuna salad (it's a pureed consistency), really soft baked potatoes (Wendy's), yogurt, pudding, refried Beans (I had some from a local Mexican restaurant that were delicious!) I couldnt handle the kind out of a can they were too thick and too nasty when watered down. Happy shopping!

really don't cook much, BTW thats any open invitation for anyone to come to my house in upstate NY and make me a home cooked meal.

Anyways back to subject - i make a mean chili, lots of kidney Beans. Don't kidney beans have lots of Protein?

You are going to be set for, like, two years! lol

I could hardly eat anything, so in my Quest to be prepared, I completely overbought.

Lol yeah I will probably be set for a while but I like having variety, I hate the thought of forcing myself to eat the same things everyday I would go insane.

It occured to me the other night as I was having my "Last Supper" before starting my 2 week liquid diet that string mozzarella cheese melted with spaghetti sauce over it might bea real tasty substitute for pizza and lasagna when I hit the mushy stage. Anyone ever thought of this before?

Look in the food forum and there is a recipe for the ricotta bake that's really good.

What about cooked penne Pasta with red sauce in the blender? Is that part of a mushy stage?

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
