This is my 15th Day with the Lap Band & allowed Mushies as of

today :thumbup:

Have had a small amount of scrambled egg & some cottage cheese

and a small yoghurt - Can anyone suggest more mushie food ideas

for the next 3 weeks? As a bit clueless i'm afraid....:confused2:

Lost 20lbs so far - Love my band :eek:

Scrambled eggs???? Whoa, baby! They are STILL on my no-no list! I get stuck on them every time!

Anyway...didn't your doc give you a list? Here are some good mushies:

-boxed mashed potatoes (add cheese for protein)

-canned refried Beans (I like to melt cheese and put guacamole and sour cream on mine--but then again, I am a Texan!)

-"cream of" whatever soups--run them through the blender to get any chunks out

-Protein shakes (I like the EAS Carb Control in chocolate Fudge and Rich Dark Chocolate)

That's all I can think of...I would call the doc if I were you though--all docs have their own post-op restrictions....

My favorite tuna fish and saltine crackers, crackers turn to mush when you chew. I also broke up the crackers in tuna fish.

avocado's, hummas, baked potato no skin.. pork and beans (no pork..) mash potato's that is going to be on my list..lol

Check out this thread: http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f9/lap-band-food-stages-lists-suggestions-3995/

how does a baked potato with fat free or low fat cheese, bacon bits, & FAT FREE OR LOW FAT Ranch Dressing sound to you. YUM YUM

hi gingercat! I started on pureed/mushies yesterday and I can have scrambled eggs. I did just fine with them. I have also had refried beans, cream soups,and oatmeal...the soupy way. Good luck to you.

I am allowed to have mushies in 14 days too!! I dont understand that differance in the diets!! There is such a variance on the site. Some people get down right testy about it too!! I had one guy just all but call me an idiot when I thinned some mashed potatos on day 4. I had no problem. It was no thicker than my protein shake!! LOL

If I've learned anything, so far, it's certainly that everyone is so very different as are our bodies after banding. I myself, expected to not be hungry at all at least until day 7 or so, but have found that I'm healing well, & my Dr okay'd me to move on to some cottage cheese & "pureed" egg salad (whole eggs, bit of FF mayo & mustard). I tolerated these well. I think there are no really defined lists for anyone & that we just have to work with our Dr.s & re-learn how to listen to our bodies. As my Dr said, "if you're getting in enough liquids (64 oz +), enough protein (50-60g) & then you're still maybe hungry.. it's time to move to the next food phase...don't be ruled by guidelines - be ruled by your body (& a quick check in with me of course)" Gave me the reassurance to trust myself a bit here & do what's right for me....don't let other make you feel badly for what you are doing for you :tongue2:

I Love this site :thumbup:
