Define Mushy..
Someone please define mushy for me. The only this that I have eaten was tuna and talapia fish. This has stayed down. I tried refried beans they came up soon as I sat up from the table. I knew that was coming. I was always picky of what ate and I'm running out of options. I do not eat chocolate so that limits the shakes to only vanilla. The shake are starting to make me sick my stomach. I need options..... Can I eat turkey meat balls smashed up?
if you can feed it to a 6 month old without worrying that they will choke.. if you can cut it with a plastic fork... if you can sma**** with your tounge on the roof of your mouth without teeth.. those are a few of the explainations people gave me.. during my mushie stage I ate refried beans(or any beans really), cottage cheese, shakes, soft cheeses, baked potatoes(no skin) with protien powder sprinkled in it with, soups with additional protien powder.. the campbells hearty ones.. tuna, chili (pureed), my nut said crackers since they disolve.. however I didnt eat them.. scrambled eggs, baby foods...
As my surgeon would say, "if you can chew it, don't do it!"
My stand-bys have been roast chicken pureed with gravy, corned beef hash (canned... I like Hormel/Mary Kitchen's version), sloppy joes (pureed) with sour cream on the side, pureed hot dogs and beans, pureed egg salad (just eggs and mayo), string cheese, ritz crackers with hummus and, of course, protein shakes.
Tonight I'm feeling adventurous; I'm going to try pureed shrimp with some ****tail sauce.
Just keep trying different things until you find something that works for you... good luck!

I must have an iron sleeve, because I have not thrown up ONCE since surgery, even though I've really pushed my luck a few times, mostly out of necessity. Five days out, I had an ounce or two of refried beans, but it left me feeling ill all day. Oatmeal has always sat well with me, as has cottage cheese, yogurt, pudding, jello, applesauce and tuna salad. Scrambled eggs also made a quick and satisfying snack.
Things I tried that were a mistake include:
Mac n' Cheese (I was at a restaurant and it was my only option)
Mashed Potatoes (sometimes it was fine, others it left me feeling like sh** all day)
Half a teaspoon of rice (was curious, chewed it well almost puked)
So I'm noticing a trend here...Simple carbs are still not the greatest choice. To be fair, I'd be throwing down the veggies and salad if I could right now.
Cheese of any kind two and a half weeks out seems to be a good bed, so long as it's chewed thoroughly. Carb-smart Ice Cream is also a great snack too.
