I was sooo excited to be on the mushy stage!!

I went to the super market and found these Bumble Bee ready to eat packs of Seafood and chicken salad with crackers. There is only 90 calories in the seafood salad (plus 90 for the crackers) and 140 in the Chicken Salad (plus 90 for the crackers)

I decided I would have one of those for lunch today -

GROSS, ick. I hate pickle relish! I threw it away.

lol, i eat the Chicken of the Sea brand all the time. It's a great, quick way to get in your protein.

I usually make my own the night before. Those usually tend to be a little dry.

I miss tuna and salmon...they tend to be dry for me.

Tuna somtimes is too dry or something. It'll get stuck if I don't put lots of mayo in it. I miss eating sardines! I know yuck but my Dad got me to eating those things and I like them. But everytime I try to eat them since my surgery they get stuck so I end up wasting the whole little can.:cross-eye

live2canoe did u eat tuna in the mushy stage? I would love to have that for some Protein but dont want to eat the wrong thing at the wrong time...i'm starting to understand my body craving protein and what it feels like...so if i can have tuna that would be great!

You could put it in the blender or in one of those little food choppers. You could do that with just about anything for that matter.

Wow what a good idea...thanks....no crackers or anything though...what did u eat the tuna with? Nothing???

Thanks

KT

I'm trying to remember......Mayo, onions, pickle relish, or anything else I wanted as long as it was chopped real fine. I think I even ate a little bit of crackers (maybe one) on the side with the tuna. I remember buying lots of creme soups on that stage. Also instant mashed potatoes.

my mom made me scrambled eggs this morning...they were soooo good. That is ok right, I thought that was an acceptable Mushie...i took small bites and never thought an egg could be so delectible...I printed out that list of ethnic mushies from another thread and am looking foward to some mac and cheese!! Thanks for your help your a sweetie pie!!

Katie

that stinks kim!!!

i usually make my own too. i am picky!

Katie - my doc allows tuna, well lubed with lo-fat or no-fat mayo, in the mushy phase. He also allowed cream Soups in the 'full liquid' stage. The rule of thumb he uses is - if you could eat it if you have no teeth, then it's a mushy! Crackers are allowed, too. Just not the hard to chew ones.

I love scrambled eggs, too. Never thought I would ever look so forward to cottage cheese and apple sauce as I did when I was on the liquid stage!

Shelly - I'm making my own chicken salad now with canned chicken, taragon and little tiny pieces of blue cheese and low- fat mayo. Really yummy. I could definitely eat it if I had no teeth!

Lisa - don't know about the sardines ..... guess I'm lucky I never developed a taste for them! Not too fond of the instant mashed potatoes!

I'm definitely a no-fat refried been girl - with low fat sour cream and mild salsa!

ROFL!!! i guess thats a good way to describe the mushy phase!!! could you eat it if you had no teeth!!! i literally laughed out loud at that!!!

when i eat my salads it is with NOTHING!!! well sometimes i'll put it in 1/2 a low carb wrap!

You know I miss eating a salad. I just can't do the lettuce unless it is chopped really fine like for taco's in strips. I have PB'd too many times on lettuce to try eating it again. I do miss a good salad though. BUMMER!!

I eat Salad all the time as long as it's smothered in Ranch Dressing. It kinda kills the nutritional value but tis good to the tummy and band!
