Okay so I am in a puréed diet untill may 11, I wanted to know if anyone else was, and if so was were you eatig..

U can't see myself throwing chicken into a food processor.. Help

Banded on 4/5/12 Yay, a new journey 2 a new ME

Hi, I was banded on April 3. I'm on purees too but I'm only allowed 3 tbl spoons 3x a day of protien. (a little light mayo and season is okay)

I've been eating refried Beans, black beans, egg salad, tuna salad, chicken salad (using can chicken) and cottage cheese. I don't think I can put anything in the blender either. It just does not sound like I could stomach it.

I've also been having 1 Protein shake as one of my meals.

Sorry that I'm not much of a help.

Today I had cottage cheese whirred and then put whirred mandarin oranges on top. It wasn't that bad. Actually, it was yummy. And filling.

Ricotta cheese whirred with spaghetti sauce is good. Warmed up. You can jazz it up with some garlic, oregano etc for more flavor.

Salad isnt mushies so i wouldnt eat that to be honest... A small amount of mash with some fish mashed into it is good, also u can pure more cans of soup with veg in etc so that they become puree, check out the food and nutrition part of the forum here it has many food ideas for all stages of diet

I start 3 tbs 3x a day tomorrow should be interesting.

Here is what is allowed:

Strained or pureed lean meat, poultry,or fish (water- packed tuna fish, ground chicken, ground beef, ground turkey, and soft flaky fish.

eggs

Low fat cottage cheese

Nonfat or 1% milk

Light yogurt

Plain or nonfat yogurt ( I like greek yogurt chobani)

Cooked hot ceral w/o added sugar (subsitute can be used to sweeten)

Smooth mashed potatoes

Unsweetened applesauce

Unsweetened purred fruit (canned pears, canned cherries, canned peaches,bananas, berries, kiwi, passon fruit and guava will puree more easily)

Low fat or non fat mayo, salad dressings, cream cheese, sour cream, small amounts of butter, margarine,or oil

Salt and Pepper

Herbs and spices as tolerated

Low fat, sugar free non- dairy creamers

Artificial sweetners

Mustard, Vinegar.

Hope that this will help you

I need more ideas for my first 3 weeks of puréed foods since I can't have beans for my first month. I bought split pea soup and refried beans and now they said to wait for a month. I was even going to make chili tonight, thought I had my lunches ready for when I go back to work tomorrow. Now I'm lost except for tuna and egg salad.
