Hi

I was banded on Nov 24 2010 and will be approaching the purèed food stage of the post-op diet. My concern is I don't know if I can stomach blending my food. The thought makes me nauseas! I have to admit, at this point I'm so hungry that I'm not ruling out anything but I was hoping for some ideas as to what else I could eat during that stage that didn't require me to blend my food. I'm open to anything! Thanks for your help

Thanks! I've had tofu once or twice before but have never cooked with it. This will be a perfect time to try it! Thanks for the suggestion!

Yay! You'll have to let me know how it goes. It's great because you can get softer tofu and mush it up into things (like chili or even veggie burgers) and it will add Protein but you won't know it's there or you can get firmer tofu and cook it in soups or bake it and pan sear it (or really cook it the same way you'd cook a piece of meat...same marinades and everything). Good luck!

Yum!! I totally forgot about mentioning tofu (thanks isaviolinist!) I agree that it's GREAT... because it has no real flavor on its own, you can do almost anything with it -- and it's CHEAP!

I swear, if I don't start getting better with poultry getting stuck on me soon, I'm going to give up and go veggie, though I doubt I can get the rest of my family to follow suit. I do tofu a couple of times a week, but I think my spouse might mutiny if I try to sub any more family meals with it. heheheh
