Mushie stage? What did you eat?

Im at the mushies and have had mashed potatoes and some pureed chicken salad but what else is there?  I just tried to eat scrambled eggs and they didn't go down too well.  Just looking for some ideas.  I have 8 more days!!!

So I had issues when I first tried eggs too. now theres no more issues. It took a few months..As for mushies, theres also tuna. But my fave mushie which was the first item I ate after leaving the Dr was wendys chili, chewed very well W/ cheese..

Is this soft or pureed?

Cottage cheese, yogurt, greek yogurt. The only meats I pureed were a seasoned fish and meatballs. It wasn't really pureed well and I found other things 'sat' better. I pureed carrots and green beans to have with my "meals".

Good Luck!

 soup
eggs
corned beef hash
soft cheese
pureed chili (or with just really fine meat)
refried beans
hummus
jello
sf pudding w/ protein powder
tuna
yogurt
crab meat
quiche

I did refried beans topped with a little cheddar, cilantro and a dollop of greek yogurt, & hot sauce..
Cot cheese, Ricotta bake (ricotta, pasta sauce, motz).. um, "deviled egg"-  hard boiled egg whizzed in the bullet with a little mayo, mustard & water to make it spoonable, Cheese (Babybel almost melts in your mouth).. I wasn't allowed meats on the mushie stage, so it was limited!

greek yogurt, cottage cheese, scrambled eggs, tuna fish that has been pureed, poached chicken that has been pureed and served with broth. I did no mashed potatoes or cooked cereal. Wait a few days and try the eggs again. you might only be able to eat a half one.

And sugar free pudding is good with a couple spoons of protein powder mixed in. also soup thats pureed if chunky and if its not too hot you can mix in a spoon or two of unflavored soy protein powder and its hardly noticible and gets that protein count up. small amounts of bean soup mushed upare good. also crabmeat or other mild fish is soft and good.
