Two Weeks Ago..................

I was sleeved.  Today started Phase Two/Mushy Food but I don't know what to have.  I have been trying to find some info on this forum but for some reason having a difficult time with it.  I feel like I had to much yet right now I want to have something else.  So confuse can someone please help me.

 Mashed potatoes, eggs, pudding, jello, soups, yogurt, cottage cheese........hope this helps? 

What you describe sounds like head hunger.  Wanting more when you feel like you've probably had enough.  It's the toughest part of this journey, in my opinion, and worth working on to understand why it happens and how you can respond to it without food.  For me, counseling is helping a bunch!  I recommend it.


I had to blenderize everything for my mushy phase.  Added enough liquids so that the end result was of applesauce consistency and slid off a spoon.  Here's what I ate.

egg salad
scrambled eggs
tuna salad
chicken salad (use canned chicken since it's super soft)
chili
baked fish
laughing cow cheese wedges
ff refried beans with a little melted cheese
cottage cheese
ricotta cheese
the lowest carb cream soups I could find and then I added protein powder to them
ff plain greek yogurt (added a little splenda and cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice)
no sugar added applesauce
sugar free pudding
still used protein shakes, broth and other liquids to supplement mushies

I got creative with the flavors I added to things.  I used different spices and liquids to switch it up.  I must have made my chicken salad ten different ways: ff mayo, greek yogurt, dry hidden valley ranch seasoning, dry mustard seasoning, mild buffalo sauce, ff sour cream, etc.

Hope this helps!

 Thank you for sharing that!  I saved it to word file for when I get there.

Pokers got the right of it.
I'm actually going to copy/paste to my daughter who is in the mushy stage.
I don't remember what I ate at that stage. I think I was to worried about my husband to even care what I ate. LOL
thanks

Thank you for your replies.

I planned my food around this one item during this phase, I loved the taste of this brand from Costco and look at all that protein in just a half a cup....I could eat half a cup.  With a morning Premier shake at 30 grams of protein, half a cup for lunch and half for dinner, I was hitting my surgeons minimums, I probably did that for two our of the four weeks.... as soon as he let me have soft white fish, I was over cottage cheese, haven't had  it since but it was important for me during mushies... Good Luck....
