I move to my mushy diet tomorrow. I've been on full liquids. I have no idea what to eat? I would love you all forever if you would post one or a few things you eat on mushies that is band friendly! Thank you all so much!:wink2:

You can have strained reduced fat cream soups, low fat cottage cheese, low fat or non-fat cheese, tofu, egg or egg substitute (etc. egg salad), and low fat yogart. After that about 15 days later, you can start with fish, tuna, and poultry. After that stage, you can move onto non-protein foods such as veggies, fruits, and carbs. My doctor does not recommend moving to the last stage until you are able to eat 2 ounces of protein at each meal and feel that you have room for more.

my fave was fat free refried beans, salsa, with a little melted cheese....mmmmm.....

Thanks so much!!

Every surgeon/nutritionist is different but here is the list they gave me:

refried Beans

ricotta cheese baked with red sauce and mozzerella

tuna mixed with mayo

apple sauce

cottage cheese

yogurt

chicken salad

chili

oatmeal

malt-o-meal

mashed potatoes(garlic mashers...mmmm!)

pudding

low fat ice cream or gelato

Of course everything on the list is low or now fat, sugar free if possible. I hate sugar free stuff, so I kept it as low fat as possible. Hope this helps:smile2:

I like mashed yams with a little brown sugar or splenda and cinnamon.. mmmm!!!

LF rocotta, LF mozzarella, garlic, tomato sauce good:tt1:
