Hi everyone!

Well I get to start the mushy phase on THursday and I have a few things in mind but would love suggestions. :thumbup:

My top 3 favorites:

1. one soft-scrambled egg with a little fresh pesto sauce or salsa mixed in

2. ricotta cheese with garlic powder and marinara sauce

3, mashed potatoes

angelic thank you for creating this one.....i was just logging in to create this exact thing b/c i start on monday and im making out my groc list.

My favorite was refried beans with salsa and sour cream!!!!!

What I did was go to the nutrition part on here. It gives a bunch of suggestions on mushy foods. I printed out the recipes I liked the best. There is one with cream of wheat that was delish. I really like FF refried bean, light sour cream, little shredded cheese, and taco sauce. Not salsa. I bought the Taco Bell sauce. it was great. and a little hambuger meat seasoned with taco seasoning... Blend it all up with a hand blender and micro.... It was great. It was the first mushy I had and I swear I will def have it again...

This is my favorite also. I am one year out and I STILL love my ff refried Beans, low fat cheddar with ff sour cream. I eat it at least twice a week!!

I also would put many things we cooked in the food processor. Ex: taco Soup and chili..both topped with the cheddar and sour cream. Also, steak and gravy and stew. As long as you blend the heck out of it, you should be able to have it. Just make sure you add extra liquid while blending to get it the correct consistency. I used broth usually.

where can i find ff refried beans? my hubby said he looked at walmart but could not find them.

Suprised... I think I picked mine up at Walmart..

They're so filling!!!!

I buy Rosarita at Target, but normally walmart will have the taco bell ff ones. Maybe yours was just out.:thumbdown:

It will be the best thing you have ever put in your mouth. It is amazing how good anything tastes when you have been on liquids FOREVER.

so true i ate this last nite, it really is tasty

are you guys allowed fish fillet, on my list i can have it but it says poached. i wonder if just baking is ok.

If you are seasoning and baking it yourself, it should be fine. If it is prebreaded, it may not be flaky enough for the mushy stage.

oh the salsa/sour cream was one of my fav's pre-op (with chips of course)! Can't wait to nix the chips and add FF refried beans!!!!!!!!!

I was logging in as well to find more recipes so thanks for posting! I have been on mushies for 2 days and all I've eaten is pudding, oatmeal and Soup.

My MIL has been banded so knew what to make me..She cooked me instant mashed potato soup :smile2:. She made it with sour cream and chive instant mashed potatoes so it was extra yummy!!

Just talking about mushies makes me drool! I was banded on the 31st. I have one more week of liquids. :tongue2: I am looking for recipes. :tt2:
