Puree Stage....Suggestions????

[☠carolinagirl☠ 18,722]

I'm starting the puree stage today and wanted to know what are some meals or snack that some of you had at this stage. Just want a few ideas that may help me out a little. Is this stage also call the "mushies"? I see that a lot but wasn't sure if that was this stage or the soft food stage. Any input is greatly appreciated!!

when i was on mushies, i used my vitamixer alot.

i loved and still do eat refried Beans, mixed with salsa and shredded cheese. and i blended til (applesauce texture while on mush). hope this helps you..

I found that canned chicken noodle Soup, canned bean with bacon soup, and chili (especially Wendy's chili ) to be really good purreed.

That Wendy's chili idea sounds great! I love it....thanks for the input

I'm doing 2oz. portions per meal. What type of food have you been eating?

I've been eating puréed black Beans with mashed potatoes. This was really good. I've also been eating Greek yogurt, applesauce and tomorrow I'm going to make guacamole and try a tuna salad. I may even make the deviled egg mixture too. Just open to anything right now. The nurse pretty much told me what I already knew. I've been able to eat about 1/2 cup or so.

My stage is only a week long. I'm on day 2 on the purée stage.

Wendy's chilli doesn't sound like puréed to me. It has big chunks of beef in it.

As far as portion sizes my doctor had us at 1/4 cup months 1-4, 1/2 cup months 5-8, 1 cup months 9+...

As far as the stages, I was told 2 weeks stage 3 (full liquids), 2 weeks pureed, 2 weeks soft foods, at 6 weeks post op regular foods are introduced

...and pureed wendys chili sounds so good!!! 5 more days of liquids for me and i may just try that!!.. Ok now I'm getting hungry :/

Hely, you bring the chili home and blend/puree it. I have done this twice now and it is soooo good. Such a change from the other things that I have been eating.

Mine was the same as yours. Starts two weeks post op and lasts for two weeks. At my next appointment I get to go to soft foods!

I steamed lots of different veggies the stuck them in my blender until It looked like I could swallow. I did this with different fruits as well I drank them in between meals so I didn't get to hungry.
