Bored out of my mind of the Mushys (Just venting)
Hello Sleevers,
I am just venting.......Thanks in advance... I am 3 weeks post op and in the mushys food stage. I am grateful I get to chew some...but LORD I am bored out of my mind of the mushys and it's limitations. I think the liquid stage was easier for me because I knew it was passing by quick (My surgeon had me on liquids for two weeks). Now these mushys for four weeks...it's only week one and I am already bored. Who else felt this way?
Gotta admit I was grateful for the mashies as I hated the protein shakes. Thrilled to have a scrambled egg. Read the World According to Eggface for better mushy options. I hope they are not telling you to eat mashed potatoes and cream of wheat. If you take some greek yogurt and mix it with a little container of sugar free pudding, it tastes like cheesecake. Good luck. Remember, find entertainment other than food. Diane S

Hi Diane... I was super excited too to eat my scrambled egg and I still enjoy all my egg foods. I have been trying different foods and definitely staying away from the cream of wheat and potatoes as suggested in my meal plans. I have checked out Eggface's blog for food ideas and have tried out some of them. I just sometimes miss chewing real roughage like broccoli, baked chicken etc etc.. you know foods that are not mushy.
On the brighter side of things.. my surgeon released me to get back to my zumba classes so I have something more interesting than mushys to look forward to. I am soldiering on :)

It mildly sucks but it will pass! Totally worth it.
