City: Kerrville State: Texas | Thanks. I am feeling a little better every day. I was on liquids all last week and started adding some food yesterday. I over did it though and ate too many mashed potatoes and they got stuck. It hurt. Learned my lesson. They were also not creamy enough so that didn't help.
I'll be glad to be able to eat normal food again. I am not really hungry, but I love flavor and there isnt' much in mush! | |

City: seattle State: wa | here's my favourite recipe for mushies ( I did not even get that phase) that I still eat now and in fact just had before getting ready for work tonight, some refried beans (the roserita ones from the mexican section at the grocery) melt some shredded cheese over top in the micro for 1min and top with salsa, yummy......

City: Kerrville State: Texas | That sounds great. I'll try it. I am making mashed potatoes right now, but boiling them in chicken broth. I'll add some horseradish sauce when I put in the milk and butter. Yummy... | |

| Ditto on the beans as a yummy recipe!
I also made a riccotta/spinach/egg/parmesan concoction topped with spaghetti sauce. It was pretty yummy and gave me a little veggies to go along with my protein.
My weight loss crashed to a half day ten and even bounced up a pound or two, but I'm working out, so I figure these sore muscles are holding onto a little water too. I can tell that my swelling is going down because I'm eating a little more and starting to get hungry sooner.
I've got a pot of potato soup on the stove right now that smells HEAVENLY. | |

City: Land of Confusion State: Texas | I am in middle of mushies too. Refried beans are my favorite! I have actually also made chicken salad with canned chicken, Miracle Whip, and de-seeded and de-skinned pickles. I then blenderized it. It's not the preferred consistancy for chicken salad...but it tastes great! I have also been eating a lot of cottage cheese and scrambled eggs.
