Mushie Stage

[Berry 0]

When I get onto the mushie stage, what foods are considered mushie???

[juliegeraci 7]

tuna salad, yogurt, cheese, chili, cottage cheese, Soups (no meat) Pasta, those types of foods. Go to the "food" section and there will be a post on mushy stage recipes. Good luck.

Pretty much anything you can smush with a fork. chicken can be run through the blender or food processor to make chicken salad, even the pickles.

Think baby food. Mashed potatoes were my best friends!

Oh, I'm going to find it very difficult to eat tuna or chicken salad alone and not on any type of bread!!! I like them both so I guess I will have to do it. After getting on to "real food" I know most people can't tolerate bread. What about eating some type of pita bread or the flat roll up bread? I also saw that someone ate stuffing, I didn't think this would be tolerable.

My 1st day on mushies and I had 1/3 C potato cheese broccoli Soup. Yum! I was so parinoid to get stuck I smushed & chewed those potatoes until they were mush!

Tonight I'm going to have smushed pinto Beans w/ some taco sauce and maybe some cheese. Real Protein will really boost my enegy level hopefully.

I'd love to see more recipies since I think we are all on mushies for at least 1-2 wks.

Would baked Beans be considered mushies??? I love baked beans!!!

I'm confused...potatoes are ok? My dr has a nutritionist and she said definitely no potatoes. and cheese and chili are ok? WOW....I have been eating the same five foods over and over each day and I am about sick of it!

i love bread. if i was on a desert island with only ONE KIND OF FOOD--it would be bread===and now--i absolutely cannot eat it with the chicken salad--i am VERY restricted at the moment. and i don't MISS the bread--amazing!! you won't miss it. you'll be full and happy you can even get the chicken/tuna salad down!

good luck!!

Oh Dawn, I hear ya!! This stage is the pits. What stage are you on the mushie stage or the liquid stage? I'm on modified liquids which I guess can include watered down potatos, very similar to cream of wheat consistency. After sticking with pudding, Jello, Protein Drinks etc. the potato was scrumptious! I can't wait until the mushies!!!

What about having the tuna or chicken salad on wheat crackers? Can most people tolerate wheat crackers, wheat thins, Ritz or something similar?

Red20, mashed potatoes are fine. I love them with a little butter and cottage cheese. Yummy.

[juliegeraci 7]

berry, yes you can have crackers. Just make sure you chew them well and they don't go down crunchy. Julie

WOW.....thanks for the info....I am so concerned with what goes in my nouth that it feels that sometimes nothing is going in there... my hunger isn't so bad, but my stomach begs to differ....it will just growl when ever it wants to and I don't feel hungry.

Thanks for the tips, I will start on potatoes and actually add pickles to my tuna and chicken salad. I guess I was just scared to add anything that wasn't on my list.

THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Berry!

Be careful with Pasta on the mushie stage! My doctor says it is a no no.
