| Well, I had my first "mushy" meal for dinner tonight. Spag Bol. It was soooo good & it felt great to actually EAT something, rather than just drink it! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| I don't know how half a cup of mushies is supposed to fill you up. Last night for dinner I had a Lean Cuisine meal (green curry chicken and rice) which I blended up. It made a full cup which I ate and I wasn't even full afterwards. Bring on the fill! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| oompaloompa, I'm with you I think. I'm on liquids until Thursday, and I just can't take it anymore! I had 1/2 cup of soup for my dinner, and I'm still hungry. I don't want to eat any more & make myself sick, but this liquid just isn't doing it for me anymore. I think I'm going to hit the mushies from tomorrow. I just can't wait to eat actual food - not just liquid!! |

| Today I officially started on Mushies. I could not take the liquid stage any more. I was meant to stay in the liquid stage until Wednesday but I was sinking into a serious state of depression and mind you I cheated many times on the liquid diet .. imagine if I had not. EGAD. I will still drink Up and Go in the morning for breakfast and have my Barocca but for lunch and dinner I am going to have mushies. I bought some nice Velish soups which are nice and thick and tasty. I bought lots of other stuff too which I thought would Bamix well and still taste nice eg Madras Lentils from the shelf, Heinz Butter Chicken, Stagg Chili and 4 bean mix for a salad ( not sure about that one yet) and from the freezer I bought cauliflower carrots and potato in cheese sauce. Tonight for dinner I had the can of Stagg Chili Dynamite Hot.. heated half a can and Bamixed it topped it with cheese avocado and sour cream and it was so nice. I could have eaten more but I refrained. Tommorrow for lunch I hard boiled a couple of eggs which I bamixed with boiled broccoli and mayo. I never realised how boring grocery shopping is if you can not eat anything. I mean I did notice it when I was on Tony Ferguson but this is way worse. So first day on Mushies 14 to go. |

| Morning all, hope you all had lovely weekend, thanks so much for this menu idea. I also was given no idea as to what I should be eating just told after 2 weeks of liquids I could go onto mushies if I was ok. At least I have this. Hugs Chris | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Hi everyone, Would anyone have the recipe for zuchinni slice, I know I can have this on the mushie stage but do you think I can find my recipe! Leanne |

| Might be a good idea as I had a meeting with the dietican prior to surgery. She provided me with all the information that I needed for the fluid and mushies stage and she went through it all thoroughly. I then got a visit from the hospital dietican the day after surgery who gave me the same information and went through it again. It gave me an opportunity for questions which was great. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Thanks so much.. this gives me something to go by till I get to the dietician later this coming week. I might chat to her about the lack of info that has been given to me.! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| I am surprised that you were not given a Pureed Diet Meal Plan to follow for the 2 weeks!! This is what I was given for the "mushie" stage:- Breakfast - 1/2 - 3/4 cup porridge OR 1 weetbix with warm milk OR 1/2 - 3/4 cup thick fruit smoothie. Morning Tea - Approx 1/2 - 3/4 cup pureed fruit (tinned or soft fresh) OR 1/2 - 3/4 cup low fat milk drink - skinny cappuccino/latte OR 1/2 - 1 small tub low fat yogurt or low fat fruche OR 1/2 - 3/4 cup low fat custard Lunch - Pureed casserole or stew eg beef and vegetable casserole, apricot chicken, lamb curry, chicken cacciatore, tuna or salmon mornay OR pureed savoury mince or bolognaise sauce (mince sauce only) OR pureed chicken, fish or meat with gravy or white sauce plus side serve of mashed potato, mashed pumpkin and pureed beans/mushy peas Note: meal size should be equivalent to 1/2 to 3/4 cup Afternoon Tea - As for morning tea Dinner - As for lunch Supper - As for morning tea Hope this helps you. |

| mmmmmmmmmmmm Mushie food ........ | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Good on you yotsuyu that must be an amazing feeling,especially knowing the amounts of food we ate before.I'm getting banded today so it inspires me to hear stories like yours hip hip hooray!!!!!!!love an xx | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| SCORE! i thought i share my first satisfactory story since banding and eating mushies. I wanted to eat fish curry, it got so bad that i thought about it all day while at work. Want and hunger are completely different thing i know. Anyway, moving on along when i finished work i went to Coles and bought me some groceries. I made fish curries, the curry is obviously texturised like a thick soup and i diced the fish and then i mashed it into the curry so its pretty mush up no chewing needed. I still try to savor the taste though. At the end of the first little bowl that i had, i wanted more. This is my head hunger sending alarms. I checked my stomach and i don't feel any discomfort so i thought well... here goes second helping. All the while thinking that yes i'm stupid and i probably shouldn't need the second helping but i did anyway because i can't help myself... LOOOO and behold, second bowl... one spoon, two spoon. END of story. I feel full and filling. I was a bit sad that i couldn't finish my delicious fish curry but at the same time happy that the band had indeed made me feel full enough to be able to stop. p.s when i meant bowl, i meant those little rice bowl cup not the standard size bowl. I could not eat a standard size bowl anymore even if i try. It was very satisfying to be able to stop. My spoon had also been downsized to teaspoon size, with a tiny cute "cake" decoration on top of the spoon. Tiny spoon makes it feel like you're eating a lot... though not really. |

| Found some great products for this stage - Heinz Stewed Fruit (near the jellies in Woolworths). 2 x 100g packs (great for on your desk at work) 68 calories, 0.1g fat and only 14.8g carbs!. Continental Cupofsoups Vegifuls - yes soup but thick soup and good for work - Potato and Leek. |

| not at all your Dr knows what is best for you they are all different but the same!!ha ha that doesn't make sense!! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Hi Fairysteps. Yes that is what i was told to do.. 1 week on liquid then 3 weeks on mushy, then do the post op 4 weeks fill which will be in next next tuesday. I haven't had any trouble with eating at all... this is assuming no weight was getting lost in the process because i have no trouble consuming food. Like i only lost 2kg since then.. sorta... but at least i'm not constantly gaining weight every week (which i was before). i do consume considerably a lot less than what i usually eat but no trouble of them going down the channel... should i be worried? LOL |

| are you on mushie stage after only 1 week?? I was done a day before you and still on fluids will be for another week I still feel tight dont km]now if I could stand mush yet, I am suprised that their is so much difference between all of us, regard pre and post op, Iguess it does'nt matter as long as we get where we wont to go. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| i was wondering if tofu is considered mushies? I honestly can't bring myself to eat blended tofu because they're already so mushy? And yet i LOVE tofu, all kinds of them. They practically mush in your mouth or is just that me trying to fool myself? LOL the line gets blurred sometimes. Well if i am allowed to eat tofu... a good way to eat it that i found is to steam it. Put it on a plate, dress with sesame oil, fish oil and some *** anese shoyu sauce. Then i ate it with a soft boiled egg. It sounded like a lot of food, but its not big in portion. The flavour on the other hand is yummy. Mmmmmm why do they censored ja pan? |
