First Day of Mushies!

Apr 23, 2010

Today was my first day of mushies and it went very well!!!

For breakfast, I had 1/4 cup of baby oatmeal. I choose this as my first meal because it was bland, finely ground, easy to prepare, and I thought it would be stomach sensitive as it was baby food. It went down find with no issues. But - tastes yuckie! Tomorrow, I will try Cream of Wheat or Malt o Meal instead. More flavor. I bought Truvia to sweeten my cereal in the morning. I am thinking about buying SF preserves to put in my oatmeal as an alternative and for different flavor.

I tried a small taste Yoplait Greek Yogurt. I've never tired greek yogurt before and yuck! Plain is not a good taste. Again, I need SF preserves to add and make the taste better. I want to find a way to enjoy greek yogurt because it has great protein.

For lunch, I boiled an egg. I then mashed the heck out of that egg and added a bit of mayo, mustard, and a drop of juice from the pickles. I then mixed and mashed again. I ate it slowly and really chewed each bite. All went down and no issues! yea

For dinner, I had 1/2 c of instant mashed potatoes. These mashed potatoes are from real potatoes so the flavor is much better and one of my favorite instant potatoes. I prepared with milk and 1/4 the butter and a little salt. They tasted sooooo good and went down with no problems.

I feel really lucky that day one of mushies went so well.

For everything I ate, I took one bite, chewed like crazy and waited 10 mins before continuing. I wanted to make sure nothing got stuck or if my stomach would handle it. Once I felt it was fine, I then finished the rest of my meal and waited from 1 to 2 mins between bites.

Yea - Day 1 of mushies done and no issues.

Im down to 327 and loving it!
