mushy food examples



Recommended Posts

Your dietician should give you a list, but on mine I could have instant mashed potatoes (I heated Fat Free gravy to give it some flavor), creamy egg/tuna/chicken salad (light mayo), instant oatmeal made kind of soppy with extra skim milk, refried Beans (my favorite-fat free refried Beans with salsa that I pulverized in the blender, mix them together and nuke a dessert size portion in the microwave for about 2 minutes-while still hot throw on some fat free shredded cheese), applesauce, cream Soups (a trick to get more protein--heat Healthy Request Tomato Soup, then break up slices of Kraft fat free cheese--creamy Tomato Soup with lots of protein),possibly scrambled eggs if you can make them soggy. Also Greek yogurt is thicker than most. If you have a Trader Joe store near you, they sell plain Greek yogurt in several varieties. The one I buy is fat free plain (container in shades of blue--the others don't have as much protein) in a 2 cup container. It has 22g Protein (22!!!) per cup, no fat, and only 6g sugar (naturally occurring milk sugar). I bring it home and divide it into half cup servings (11g Protein, 3g sugar), then for flavoring I add Smuckers sugar-free preserves, and sprinkle about a teaspoon of cinnamon. The Smuckers has no sugar and about 10 cal per tablespoon. You can't buy a commercial yogurt with that breakdown. I discovered the Trader Joe yogurt more recently. Originally I ate commercial fat free or lite, but they were on my ok list for liquids. The Greek yogurt is thicker and should suffice for a mushy. Basically they told me anthing that could be blended to the consistency of applesauce was ok. I have read where people blended chili even.

I hope this helps, and good luck on your journey.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
