I'm in my 4th week post op and needs some ideas for mushy foods. Im getting bored with stuff that I'm eating and I also need to get in more protein. Any suggestions??

I am my 4th day of liquid diet get my sleeve on Jan. 5th but I had a lot of friends that have been through this. They say refried beans with some cheese is very good another one suggested salsa and you can hear it up. Good Luck ????

Heat not hear lol damn auto spell ????

I love tuna salad made with plain Greek yogurt instead of mayo. It adds protein and still moistens the tuna. I add finely chopped onion, celery and sweet relish. To me it's "normal" food so it was welcome after so much soft foods. I eat this twice a week now, and I'm 3 months post op. Chili is also soft and high in protein. Wendy's Restaurant has a small chili so it's a great go to fast meal. I'm also into ground turkey made with taco flavoring. Baked potato also works but I added protein powder to get my 80 grams met. Isopro unflavored is a good one along with plain, nf Greek yogurt. Salsa is a great addition to the potato as well. Just experiment. I learned from this forum so I'm sure you'll get great ideas. Good luck!

All great ideas!!! Thank you!!!

I boil and mash sweet potato, cut a butternut or acorn squash in half, lay face down on a baking sheet and bake until soft. Scoop out the squash and that's it. So good.

If you have a sweet tooth I really like taking 1% cottage cheese with 0% fat Fage Greek Yogurt and adding sugar free cheesecake powder about a teaspoon at a time. Play with the proportions to your own personal taste. It's tart yet sweet. You can even add pumpkin purée. It is packed with protein. And will keep in the frig for a few days. I just portion it out.

Egg Beaters were my go to. I love eggs and still make them quite frequently. Had I known at the time I would have made protein pancakes. I use unflavored Unsure protein powder. You can find a variety of recipes online. I still love this meal!

avocados, eggs in every form. My grocery sells an instant oatmeal that also contains quinoa and other ancient grains, has a good bit of Protein in it. (I think Special K makes one in pre-serve cups). Cottage cheese with fruit spread. pureed Soups (but this is tricky b/c creamy soups are fatty soups. I thought I might die after a few bites of Panera's baked potato soup!) Refried Beans mixed with salsa.
