I will soon be entering my puree stage of my post op diet. I think fruits will be easy it puree and make them taste good. It is the protein I am concerned about. I will have cottage cheese and yogurt however does anyone have any suggestions for pureeing meats? My dietitian recommended using chicken with some broth but I don't imagine how good that will taste at the constancy of applesauce. She did say that I could take meatballs or meat loaf and puree with sauce which doesn't sound too bad, but I have heard some people have a hard time getting beef down. Are there any baby foods that anyone can recommend? Lol it sounds so unappealing but I am getting very hungry on my liquids. Also is tuna and egg salad allowed at this stage? I see some people separate puree and mushies? It looks like my dietitian combined puree and soft food stage. My last questions is what veggies do people like pureed? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Avocado!

Hey! Im in my first week of puree foods and its honestly not that bad - like yourself I was TOTALLY turned off by the mushing/pureeing of meats ... but.. its fine..

My fave is TUNA in Water. Just put some lemon pepper and a little bit of green onion and its really tastey.

As for veggies - Ive started making vegetable stock and then using the veggies in the broth. it blends into a garden vegetable creamy Soup... thats yummy as well . Add Rosemary for an Italian flavor to the broth or perhaps cilantro

Im trying chicken tomorrow - pureed that is .. wish me luck.. lol

Just two suggestions for you hope this helps..
