Need "mushies" ideas

singingkim · 05-14-2008, 10:58 AM

I just had all my fill removed and am on mushies for a week while my esophagus heals from severe dilation (thanks to movie popcorn!!). I am 2 1/2 years out from my banding and i can't remember what things to eat!! I am having pudding today with whey protein powder mixed in and I am not a big fan of soups. Any ideas are appreciated!!

My favorite was FF refried beans with a little cheese. I also like yogurt.

Hey in Food and Recipes there is an entire mushies thread. Try there, but since where here---

I ate campbells select soups
mashed potatoes
mashed cauliflower- mmmm the recipe is in the mushies thread and also in the carb free thread
Baked sweet potatoes

I peeled squash and sauteed it with some spray butter and molly mcbutter. But I love squash.

And I tried the babyfood...it wasn't for me.

My favorites are yogurt, scrambled eggs, jello, string cheese, chunk light tuna, and bananas.

Thanks for the ideas! I will check out the thread on foods and recipies. Just ate some real mushy chicken salad and that was really good! I like the idea of FF refried beans and a little cheese though...mmm

I made a delicious concoction this week..actually two iof them

One I used SPaghetti sauce (I used one with spinach bits in it) and blended it with some kidney beans and a smidgeon of cheese...YUMMMM SOrt of like chili

Then last night my family had mashed potatos and fish..I put the two items in the blender with some milk then heated in the micro.It was like a fthick fish chowder...YUMMMM

I have recently made mushies because of slippage & streatched esophagus.

I use ground turkey because it is very soft and low texture. Cook this up w/ taco seasing. When cooked put in blender and blend w/ some chicken broth - use just enough for what ever consistancy you like. Then top w/ cheese. This was so yummy!!

Cottage - this can be used in so many ways - sometimes w/ salad dressing - just enough to change the flavor. Mix w/ taco seasoning, or any other powder seasing.

I also made blended italian meatballs. Again using turkey meat like the tacos, but I cooked it w/ italian seasing, and put a lot of flavor in it, then blended it in the blender w/ spaghetti sauce.

You can also make egg salad, but instead of chopping use a fine cheese shredder - I love my egg salad this way - don't like the chunks.

Buy powder soup mix like "Bear Creek" and use that and puree your meat in it. I took some rotisery chicken and purred in the cheddar broccli soup and it was OH SO GOOD.
