Hi everyone. I'm new to Lapbandtalk.com. I was just banded on 11/05/08. Things are going pretty well but I do think I will be glad when the liquid phase is over. I will be starting mushies or "blended" food soon. Has anyone ever put split pea soup or bean soup in the blender for mushies.

I did! I put campbells split pea with ham (or bacon? whichever it is!) and 1 can of water into the food processor and diced the dickens out of it until it was creamy (I added the water gradually) then heated and ate. It was DELICIOUS! Kept me sane!

I didn't do anything blended....I just couldn't stand the thought of pureed food, but I did mush up the beans in Campbells Bean & bacon soup and had that. I love bean soup anyway, so it was sort of like "real" food to me. Best of luck to you!

I actually used Progresso Potato, Broccoli, and Cheddar soup as a good mushie food. I strained the chunks out then mashed the chunks until they were smooth and put them back in the soup... mm, mm, good. Also, I really thought the Cheesy Chicken Enchilada soup my progesso was really good tooo. I am a huge fan of Mexican food so it is perfect.

hi- i too was banded 11/5.....cant wait to eat something mushy!!!!all things considering its going well

In those early days l blended everything..when you are sick of liquid, real food tastes awesome, no matter what it is...soups are great...beans are a great source of protein as well...

I cant wait...im having k20 protein watr as we speak....i will start cream soups tommorrow...hmmmmmmmmmmmmm
