Ok, so i have never actually put meat in a blendar and then ate (drank?) it. Please tell me you eat it....

Anyhow, what are the best meats to blend and what should they be blended with? I assume they should be cooked first, then blended with some form of liquid or sauce. but maybe not? Need some ideas here.

thanks.

I put chicken and turkey in my chopper and added broth or a light mayo...my dr said he allowed the mayo cause it was such a small amount..i made it a lot thinner then pre-band of course.

The thought of baby food style meat was just too horrible. For mushies I ate things like tuna, ground beef etc - things that could be mashed with a fork - oh and lots of veg.

I did not put my food in blender either. I ate tuna, chicken salad, chicken or turkey w gravy ground turkey. Smashed sweet pot, peas meatloaf all things that u can smush w a fork.

i only puree certain things others where never ment to be eaten that way lol i ate oatmeal with fruit with milk so it was soupy. grits and scrambled eggs. refried beans with cheese, mashed potatoes, SF pudding, SF jello, i've pureed swedish meatballs with rice, and spaghetti with sausage and ground hamburger and those were good! plus lots of veggies

So my next food stage is pureed and blenderized.......it says I can have cooked blended meats. (I do not eat fish or seafood). Ground beef, chicken, turkey are not introduced until the stage after this one. So I am guessing this is like a smooth chicken salad. (I was so excited to move to the next stage - not so much any more)

The next stage also incudes blenderized Wendy's chili, hummus, refried Beans - low fat, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes etc.............

Guess I can look forward to the Soft/Moist Stage...........it has been a month of liquids, what is another 7 days.

Corned beef and roast beef hash and scrambled eggs saved me!!!

My favorite mushy food was healthy choice cream of chicken soup and I would add some ground chicken into it...delicious!

I bought a rotissere chicken and yes put it in the magic bullet - not for long. I did about 3oz of meat, 1/2 oz on cheese and a few teaspoons of chicken gravy.........gave that thing a whirl and at the time after over a month of liquids, it was pretty awesome. I remember my first meal I just sat there smiling. Having said that, it is the consistancy of thick peanut butter and you don't really chew it, but it is not liquid and it tastes like chicken and was oh so good.

For mushies I had low fat cottage and ricotta cheese (add smooth spagetti sauce for a pastafree lasagna). Had canned chicken and tuna with low fat laughing cow cheese mixed in, which you can microwave. Also for mushies I used a stick blender to mince the fruit in Greek yogurt (which has twice the protein of regular yogurt).

I just had the lapband done on the 11th of this month and I am SO tired of chicken broth. I am so ready for the mushy stage (lol). Does anyone have any recommendation on what to eat? I heard I can have mash potatos and gravy but what else can I enjoy?

My favorite mushy foods: Part skim ricottia cheese, topped with tomato sauce and grated parmasagne cheese. Nuke it up in the microwave . taste like a noodleless lasagne.

Canned tuna (white albacore in water) 2 oz. mixed with 1 wedge of laughing cow lite cheese

Refried Beans ( 2 oz.) topped with shredded reduced fat yellow cheese, dopple of lite sour cream - in the microwave - mmmm

Fresh avacado (2-3 oz) topped with Mango Salsa

ahhh, there are just so many things you can do with mushy......
