Your Top Five Mushies??

I finally get to start mushies.......today! (Drooling!) My doctor gave me a rather abbreviated list of approved foods:

Refried beans
Scrambled eggs
Mashed potatoes
Applesauce
Yogurt
Cottage Cheese
Cream of Wheat/ oatmeal
Pudding

I'm wondering what other wonderful morsels you all have found to add to the above list that made this stage more enjoyable. I'm particularly interested in forms of PROTEIN.

I'm so excited..........I'm actually going to use a FORK!!!! LOL.

Thanks!

You know what, I wasn't eating any vegetables. The first time I tried to eat broccoli I got stuck. I have the nerve to get stuck off of eggs sometimes. I can eat almost anything after a cup of hot tea and just a tiny bit at a time. It is more about quality then quantity.

I'm sorry - I don't have anything to add to the list. I practically lived on refried beans. I mixed in cheese and salsa. Yummy. I also tried lots of different soups. I was told that I could puree anything I wanted with a little broth in the blender for mushies, but it never seemed worth the effort.

Congrats on using a fork again! It's the little things... :)

4th goal:

1) like the other folks on this thread....refried beans heated with a splash of enchilada sauce, some cheese and sour cream

2) Tuna blended down in my kitchen chopper with mayo. Sometimes I throw some cheese in there and blend in.

3) cooked a chicken breast, cut it up, put in kitchen chopper with season salt and green onion. I really blended the crud out of that tho....chicken can be hard to get down but made into almost a paste and it is YUMMY. Sometimes I also throw some cheese in with the chicken. A hunk of swiss was terriffic in this blend.

4) cottage cheese (but go slow and chew because I've gotten into trouble by not chewing those little curds)

5) hot and sour soup not strained. Eat the chunks of tofu slooowly.

I'd go to Taco Bell, order the refried beans and sour cream, then a regular taco, then I'd empty the contents of the taco into the refried beans, stir and yummm.

My first mushie was a soft banana and it was the most joyous fruit ever consumed :-)

Today they make a variety of different applesauces... pineapple, strawberry, grape, granny smith etc.

Enjoy!

People who have undergone gastric bypass are usually started out on scrambled eggs because of the protein. For me I would try watered down oatmean as I love it and apple sauce. You've come to the exciting part of your diet. So happy for you.

Add me to the list of refried-beans devotees. I also loved hummus, tzatziki, salmon mousse, fish pates, and all the other fancy spreads and dips that are too expensive to buy on a regular basis. But when I was living on mushies they brought much joy to my life! :)
