Soft, Mushy foods question

Hi Friends, Ok so my NUT let me go to soft mushy foods. I know I can do a scrambled egg with melted cheese, but what else is soft, mushy, and has protien? Just to let you know... I can not stomach Yogurt or cottage cheese.. That stuff is NASTY to me... So any other suggestions for this finicky eater??!?!?!? I know I can do mashed Potatoes with unflavored protien, but is it really unflavored or can you tell its in there? Thanks in advance your advice!! Love, Kathy

Here's what I was able to tolerate: Lean Cuisine Mac and Cheese, kind of mu**** up with fork. Tuna in a blender with fat free mayo and some pickle juice I also could handle canned chicken in a blender with ff mayo and some other liquid to help blend it you can also attempt to try (i did) some baby foods....I did and some were fine. some were gross. I liked the squash best. no protein but its palatable! Also the lean cuisine meals have high sodium so watch it. most processed foods do. try south beach diet foods if you can get them. just throw it in a blender. i was also told Wendy's chili in a blender is a high source of protein. but I never tried it because they said it looked like baby poop! lmao And i didnt like dairy after surgery-------so we are in the same boat. I did my share of picking and hovering and never deciding..just have to try one thing at a time and see how you do. Hugs!!!!!!!!!!! Stacey

Thanks Stacey, for the great suggestions!! I probably should have added Tuna to the lists of food I don't like. Crazy I know..... But I will try some of the other idea's you mentioned. I am learning after only 1 week out that it is a trying to decide whats best type of thing. I do like Mac n cheese though, so we will see how that works!! Thanks again!! Kathy

Kathy- Make some sf pudding with flavorless protein powder. I know I ate Dinty Moore beef stew blended. Looked gross but, tasted ok. Also refried beans with cheese melted on them. I think you would be fine with protein powder in the mashed potatoes. I used spray butter on them for flavor. Hummmm, seems like forever since I was on that stage. Wish I had put this info on my profile so I could remember. Good luck anyway. Teri

Hi Teri, thanks for the idea's... I do have some whey protein and some unflavored unjury here so maybe I will try some mashed potatoes later. I have some Pudding and didn't think to add that either.... DUH!!!! Thanks again!! Love, Kathy

Do you like refried beans? warm them up and put some cheese and put it in the microwave. Then you can top it with taco sauce, it tastes pretty good. The hunts no sugar added pudding is good, i warmed spaghetti sauce and put cheese on that. Hugs Linda

LOL I thought you were saying you put spaghetti sauce and cheese on the pudding! YIKES!!! now I see that those are two seperate things... pudding.. OR spaghetti sauce with cheese... SHEESH!! I think I'm already freaking out over my surgery on Thursday and what I'll be able to eat afterwards!

LOL i just reread my post, it does sound like that . the pudding is seperate, just to clear that up. Good luck on Thursday, i'll be thinking of you. Hugs Linda

Hi Kim, Yeah.... Pudding and spaghetti sauce... I'll pass!! But they were great idea's seperate! Good Luck on Thursday... You will do GREAT!! Love, Kathy

Thanks Kathy, I'm so happy to read your posts and know you are doing so well. It makes me stronger. I did read your profile, however, and the fact that you said "what did I do to myself" right out of surgery has me a little nervous!!!! I know God will keep me, and at least I can prepare myself for that!!! I'm going to be not too far behind ya. I have NO idea how you did 20 days of liquids... I'm on my 6th and I just want to die!!!! I am SO sick of SF Jello and broth! I don't even care if I eat at all...!! I'm very happy for your success so far Kathy. Praise God!
