I have been banded for 8 days and need some ideas on food (mushies). I can't seem to figure anything out...but soup. Help again!!!! Thanks for your responses. TENNIS GIRL

I ate a lot of tuna salad made with a lot of Miracle Whip Lite. Also sugar free/fat free pudding made with skim milk. I ate them both almost daily.

Mushies... let me try to remember...

Refried Beans saved my life. Add some tabasco, red sauce, and chile verde, top with cheddar cheese...mmm...

Cottage cheese

Mashed potatoes

Tofu (in any sauce/marinade you want)

Wet & well chunked tuna salad

Yeah - refried beans are awesome. Also, chick peas (hummus), but be careful about gas, eggs are my life saver. Just not fried.

I ate alot of Butternut squash..i would bake it then keep it available for quick Snacks too... a little salt and YUMMY.. Hummus, mashed potatoes, tuna.

It is hard to get creative!! But you can do it!

Betty Crocker makes some really great (instant) mashed potatoes. they come in 4 or 5 different flavors. even my DH likes them and he is PICKY!!

i agree w/ tuna w/ light Mayo ... that is still my lunch most days

Try some liquid/firm yogurt.

I Had Alot Of Favorites. Mashed Potatoes, Mac And Cheese, Cottage Cheese, Omlet With Alot Of Melted Cheese(soft Cooked), Tuna Salad, Sugar Free Pudding, Noodles Mixed With Any Kind Of Sauce Mushes Up Very Well. Congratulations On Your Band.

Yogurt, mashed potatoes, jello, creamy soups, soups with noodles or rice (no chicken). I think you have it down.
