What was your first mushie after surgery?
Very soft-scrambled egg. It was SO delicious, even though I could only eat a few bites. In the mushie stage I ate mashed potatoes, refried beans, applesauce, hummus, pudding, cottage cheese, greek yogurt, cream of wheat, thinned oatmeal, along with the protein drinks. For some reason I didn't get into tuna salad and chicken salad until I went to regular foods.
I didn't worry too much about carbs until I was cleared for regular foods, I figured the mushie stage is about re-introducing any kind of food to my poor beleagered sleeve. But when I did "graduate" to all foods as tolerated, that's when I went low-carb big-time!
