Mushie advice???

ReadyOrNot · March 17, 2009

Hi,

I almost to the mushy stage, wondering what kind of foods you ate during this time? The only things on the list from my doc are soft eggs and cottage cheese - did anyone try mashed potato or mac and cheese or is that too much for this stage??

Thanks for the help! Looking forward to scrambled eggs...

I baked a potato, used just half and mashed it, then added cottage cheese to end up with about 1/2 cup and it went down great and with a little salt and pepper tasted great as well (my sodium was low for my last blood test so salt is ok for me)

I am not to the mushie phase yet but I can't wait. I've been researching and reading everything I can get my hands on. People on another board rec'd putting some ricotta in a dish then some Tomato sauce and top with a little parmesan and mozzarella. Warm it in the microwave and you have lasagna with no noodles. I'm also looking forward to some refried Beans with a little low fat cheese and maybe a dash of the liquid from salsa heated in the microwave. My dietician said I could make egg salad to eat and tuna if I used a lot of light mayo to make it smoother but follow what your Dr or dietician says. Good Luck.

One thing I would do is go to a sandwich restaraunt (like Panera) and get a cup of Soup to go. I would take it home, put it in my blender and beat the heck out of it. Poured it in a cup and yumo it was good. Had all the flavor without the risk. I did this with all kinds of Soup. I would also pair it with some butter crackers that I would let dissolve in my mouth.

Really, there are a lot of things you can put in a blender that will still taste good.

God Bless!

Thinks I ate on my mushy stage:

scrambled eggs

potato soup- really any creamy Soup, but this was my fav

refried Beans with salsa (ate a LOT of this)

cottage cheese

cottage cheese with marinara sauce (like lasagna)

mashed potatoes

hummus

cream of wheat

pudding

That was about it. I am a creature of habit, so I tended to eat the same things over and over.

I was just wondering whether I'd screwed up. Today is my first day of mushies and the first thing I had was some ground beef in Tomato paste and cheese (grabbed it off the top of the spaghetti my family had for dinner). Does that seem like a mushy enough food to ne1 else or was I a little too quick to pass judgement on that?
