What does blenderized meat look like?

[Bree99 1]

I will soon transition to a stage 1 mushie diet which is supposed to be the consistency of baby food. I see recommendations to put fish and meat in the blender with light mayo, etc... Honestly, I can't imagine what this is supposed to look like? I also wonder how is it going to taste? Will it be liquified or merely processed into very small pieces? I'd like to hear from some of you have passed through this stage. I don't know what I'm going to eat!

My 'recipe' (and I use the term loosely) book for my postop diet included a blendered cheeseburger. Put half a hamburger bun, the burger and all the Condiments you want into a blender and then blend with some beef broth until it's the right consistency.

Blech. I just drank Protein Shakes through the puree and mushie period but then I was lucky. My doc only made me stay on each phase of the postop diet for 2-3 days at each phase.

Oh, what does it look like? Take a trip down the baby food aisle of the supermarket and pick up a bottle of 'beef'. Looks like someone ate a steak, swallowed it and threw it back up. :biggrin:
