Hello,

I was banded Oct 29 and have lost 11.5 to 12 pounds since then. I feel wonderful...but am ready to move on to mushies this Friday. My list from the dietician is very short and I am sure these are just examples and not "just" what I am supposed to eat. I think I am confused as to what is consider mushies. About how thick are mushies? I cannot imagine eating greenbeans out of the blender....but is this what ya do? I really don't think I will be eating blenderized meat...I just don't think I could. eggs aren't on my list either but I know of some mushie-stage people that have eggs on their list...so scramble them? Can I add anything to them to make an omlet...or would this be against mushie rules? I really want to start sitting at the table with my family again!

Are there any creative mushers out there that have made a mushie that tastes good?

Also, I am on mushies for 2 weeks and then what? Regular food? So at thanksgiving, will I be able to eat small portions but regular food? Noodles? A bite of a roll?

Maybe someone here even knows of a previous thread or website with mushie recipes?

Thanks!

Gosh Mushies are sounding really great right now :tongue2: .....only 5 more days of Full Liquids!

I'm confused, my book from the doctor says no hard boiled eggs on "mushy" stage... but egg salad is pretty mushy... do you think it means no "dry" boiled eggs? I don't know why I'm asking about them now, after eating a Salmon burger for lunch that was definitely not mushy... but I chewed and chewed and chewed!! 18 grams of protein for it and I was full when I was done!

They are probably concerned about you swallowing rubbery chunks of egg white. If you mash it all well with a fork and make egg salad I think you would be okay -- but if in doubt, clear it with your doc.

I was done on 11/5 as well, so we're in the same boat! I dream of the day next week when I can have some tuna salad, soft fish, or some eggs! Heck, anything that requires me to chew would be nice.:Dancing_sorry:

When I was on mushies I liked to get the deviled ham in the little cans and mix it with a little mayo and a tiny bit of dill relish..YUMMY!

It was only a few ounces but it was so filling to me at that time.

I get my first fill November 21st and can't wait.
