On mushies.....would love to know what you all had for meals....best I can tell...oatmeal, cottage cheese, mashed stuff. My daughters were creeped out by the liquid stage (even though they don't know about the band) and this stage doesn't seem much better. I've tried potatoes twice and I feel like I ate a plate full of rocks. Should I be afraid that I'll never have a normal meal again? 15 days post op...15 pounds down...wooohoooo!

gosh, there really is so much you can do with mushies. creamed spinach or spinach souffle, (Stouffers), guacamole, refried beans, whipped sweet potatoes, mashed banana, butternut squash, etc., hash, egg salad, minced chicken salad, pudding, flan, custard, pumpkin pie filling, (for the holidays...and you can make it with evaporated skim milk), poached tilapia and yellow squash (one of my favorites.... poach it in seasoned chicken broth and mash it), ricotta cheese with spaghetti sauce and parmesan cheese, YUMMMMM, brocolli cheese quiche....... There's lots you can eat.

Just remember whole or multi grain breads, pastas etc... and Proteins first then the other stuff. You shouldn't eat white flour breads, at least thats what was suggested to me by my nutritionist. and everything should be fat free or low fat and watch the sugars. Good luck to ya.

and everything should be fat free or low fat and watch the sugars.

well that's no fun....lol

i eat too little to worry about FF or LF - i go with taste.

As far as ff and low fat, better tastes can be achieved by herbs and other seasonings. I tend to lean toward lower fat foods because ff seem to have an after taste to me, but, obviously, some people don't eat that way. I guess you have to gauge your own weight loss and see what works best for you. Good luck to you all.
