Hi everyone

When moving from liquid to mushies what was the first thing you ate?

On day 8, if his patients feel like they are "starving", my surgeon allows a test meal of a scrambled egg. So, I ate a scrambled egg, and let me just say, it was the best scrambled egg I have EVER put into my mouth!

I ate yogurt. I was really scared about anything more solid getting stuck. After that went okay, the next meal was scrambled eggs, again no problem. By this time I was craving something with flavor, so I dunked a cracker into pesto for a taste with garlic and I loved it! I only ate two crackers but the pesto was the best thing I had ever tasted.

My first day on mushies I ate some scrambled eggs for breakfast, soooo yummy, and for dinner I ate some instant mashed potatoes, and some baked beans, also sooo good! You will get full really quick, and make sure you take very small amounts!

i was dying for something flavor full so i make ricotta bake:

container ricotta (LF)

half cup romano cheese

drained pckg frozen spinach

1tsp basil

1 egg

mix together, add to baking dish - add another 1/4c romano & bake till bubbly brown.

i added some marinara to mine - but i was craving italian food and this gave me my fix.

For my first day of mushies I had FF refried beans with a little low fat cheddar cheese sprinkled on top.....it tasted like heaven!!

I purchased a Magic Bullet, and I had egg salad and some pimento cheese (just about a bite). I would recommend the Magic Bullet to anyone, It really processess things down as smooth as you want them. I had surgery on Wednesday, today I had some scrambled eggs. I'm still using the slim fast for my protein requirements. I'm not hungry at all. I'm going to do some chicken salad and tuna salad next. Food sure does taste good! I'm a bit scared of eating, so I'm not eating very much right now.

Luluc, will you come cook for me, your daily food always sounds so good!

I had ff refried Beans, sprinkled with cheese and a tsp of salsa, blended - oh so good!

I ate thin cheese grits that I had pureed before cooking them with a piece of sausage. I thought I had died and gone to heaven.

Its funny... My doctor didn't really push the whole soft diet mushy food thing except for the first week after surgery. When I went to my one week check and asked him what i could do next, he said to me-just no shrimp or steak. Try things slowly but go to a regular diet. I about fell out of the chair but I did it and tolerated everything well. Still scare of bread but that will come. I am now patiently waiting for my first adjustment on the 8th of Jan, because sometimes I feel like I am eating to much even though i have cut way back.

I had to get my ok from the surgeon before moving from liquid to mushy phase on my 2 week check up. The surgeon's office is over 4 hours away so right after my appt I went to a grocery store and bought cottage cheese and plastic spoons. That cottage cheese was amazing!

My first meal was scrambled eggs with cheese. Even though it has been a long time ago, I still remember how wonderful it tasted. It was a very, very special moment for me, lol.

As soon as my doctor said I could have mushies, I went to KFC and got mashed potatoes. They were the best thing I have ever tasted in my life!! LOL

I had my first day of mushies today. First I had pureed apple for breakfast and then I had mashed potatoes with cream cheese (low fat) for dinner...so yummy after 4 weeks of fluids.

I had sheppards pie (blended to death in the bullet) it was wonderful - but I could eat blended food right after surgery - so I had this the evening of my surgery.

Mashed Potatoes w/ Stewed Beef Gravy!

Heavenly!!!:biggrin:
