I am soooo happy to be on mushies! Two weeks never seemed so long as those that I was forced to do liquids on! Just wanted to post some good mushie stage stuff....if you havent tried them, the Jello Cheesecake cups are AWESOME, I cant stop singing their praises! Also, I got the best thing for christmas for mushies, the Magic Bullet blender.....if you dont have one then you neeeed one of these little beauties for mushie stuff.. I smashed up some potato salad and cloeslaw tonight for lunch tomorrow, surprisingly good. This little thing is perfect for making protein/frozen yogurt smoothies as well. So, it would be great for the liquid stage too I suppose. Any more great mushie recipies out there? :cry Please post them, I dont want to feel as deprived at this stage as I was on liquids.

Cheers

I made mushie spaghetti bolonese - made the sauce a bit sloppier than usual then mushed it up with the blender - looks disgusting but tasted great. Also had some Thai chicken curry - again looked awful blended up but tasted great. Anything with sauce to it can be turned into mushies, i know of someone who turned lasagna into mushie.

I thnk my favorite right now is cheese omelet.

Scrambled eggs are considered soft mushie food by my doctor. So one egg + one piece of 2% cheese

what do you think of the Jimmy dean omelets. They have some with just cheese...Do you think that it is musshy enough id I chop it up with a fork?

You can try it. It is just eggs and cheese right? no meat? no potatoes?

I am in the soft food stage already. Well tomorrow. I am going for chili. ummmm I have been waiting for chili. a little nervious about the chunks. but I am just going to take it slow.

Let me know how it goes Cerrin. I am nervous about Beans after spending a week trying to get all the gas out of me. Are beans going to be ok?

And check the calories on those premade omelets. If you use one slice of 2% borden slice cheese (50cal) and one egg + a little milk (100 cal) and cook it in a skillet that doesnt need to be buttered its only 150cal total for the omelet.

How many calories are in a premade omelet?

Hi there. I was banded on Dec. 10. I am at the same stage as you but don't blender my food. I just try to chew the food really good. My doctor said it's ok as look as I am not having problems and chew it good.

I love getting on the scales almost everday to see that I have lost another pound. I am just so afraid that i won't get down to my ideal weight.

I haven't started exercising yet. I really need to though. I just have been very sluggish the past few days. I don't know why. I have been sleeping really good at night.

I have been very good with my Water and no other calorie drinks. I eat chicken, chicken, chicken and fish every day.

Wow guys, thanks for all the responses! I am gonna try the cheese omlete as it sounds wonderful! Also, I hadnt thought about just blending up anything with a sauce in it, i am gonna try some chunky Soups in the blender, they may look hideous but taste the same, maybe i will close my eyes as i eat. lol

Lumpy, please dont worry already about getting to your goal weight....with patience you will get there! The scales are not kind to me, I find if i get on them daily I start to worry more. Maybe weigh yourself once a week at the same time, like Sunday morning...something like that. This way, you will get a better read. You sound like you are doing great with eating and the no cal. drinks, you will get there!

My doctor considered tuna salad as smushie so I liked that and it went down well. Another favorite is scoop the potato part out of a baked potato away from the skin and put the things you normally like on a baked potato. It can get high in fat but I was eating so little that I was not worried. Good luck to you!

I had an egg and cheese omelet today and OH MY, *HEAVENLY*!! I was so excited to go grocery shopping and buy FOOD!

Yum, gonna have to have a baked potato. I'm really not worrying too much about fat content right now; I figure I'm still eating so little that it's a non-issue. I'll get a little more serious about that when I go to "regular" food, still have two more weeks for that.

Ohhhhh, keep the ideas coming... I start mushies on Tuesday and I can hardly wait. I go back to work on Wednesday and I'm trying to figure out what I should take with me for lunches.

I'm dreaming about an omelet! It sounds sooooo good.

and salsa on the omlettes is GREAT too! I was never a salsa person before .. . but I sure am now!

Chris

or salsa on cottage cheese .. . and add some avocado! Yum!

(sorry . . .had to throw that in too)

I don't know the calorie count on the premade omelette, I for got to look. I was in a ruch at the store and just picked one up. The thing I like is that it is 4oz so I son't have to think. I also got some egg beater cups that are 4 oz already measured. Just pour it in and ffry it up. I also got some low sugar ketchup that wasn't as bad as I though it would be.

Try some refried beans with salsa and cheese heated and melted in the microwave. As good as any Mexican meal. I couldn't believe it. I mix 1/4 to 1/2 cup beans with a little salsa. Very filling too.

For a snack I blended SF jello with some black cherries in it with a little cream cheese. My DD made the jello for Christmas Eve.
