What Tastes Good Pureed?



Recommended Posts

One of the best tasting purees I had was the inside of a soft taco from Taco Bell (minus almost all the lettuce). You can add more Protein by adding in some refried Beans as well.

My favorite was roast beef cooked in a crock pot and then pureed with the au jus. -Yum!

Refried Beans are great, and you can sneak little bits of extra Protein in there with some ground beef or some cheese. Even pureed this still tastes yummy.

Egg Face's Ricotta Bake does not require blending because it's already really soft, and it is DELICIOUS! My son and I still eat that sometimes. He puts his over Pasta, but it tastes just like lasagna and has no Pasta in it.

Wendy's chili is good pureed. If it's too spicy for you, you can always add a little Tomato sauce to it. You won't be able to eat/drink a whole small one, anyway.

Bean with bacon Soup was pretty good to me, and didn't really require a puree. I just mushed it up with my spoon, and I only ate a couple of ounces out of the whole can. You can thin it more with broth or Water and it hides the taste of unflavored Protein powder pretty well if you want a big Protein wallop.

I also pureed up some dinty moore beef stew..and, I'll be honest, I ate a couple of chunks of that meat without pureeing it, but I chewed REALLY well. One small can lasted me several days.

I used broth to puree up a little of the meat we had for dinner a couple of nights, although that tasted a little like baby food to me.

I've heard of people pureeing all kinds of things that I never would have thought about, from slices of pizza to turkey and dressing.

I bought a magic bullet specifically to use for post op blending and it worked out really well. We still use it sometiimes to make Protein shakes, so it was definitely money well spent, IMO.

Good luck!! :)

hi fellow sleevers

i'm pre-op DOS 12/15/11 - i have to admit the thought of pureed food makes me gag a little. I saw my NUT yesterday, she's the best, and she said not to think about the different food stages yet - After my 1rst 10 days of WLS - and drinking, sip, sip, sip - we'll be meeting again and talk about the next stage.

isn't cottage cheese, SF pudding, yogurt and Jello, SF popsicles and other stuff like that Kosher as mushy food?

again, the thought of putting real food in a blender....well i think i'd rather get my tooth pulled but if i have to eat more mushy stuff, well for this weight loss, i'll do anything.

I feel like I am planning for back when my kids first started eating..lol

Scrambled eggs, ricotta and refried Beans are awesome.

Black Beans, some meat and veggies is really good.

ricotta Tomato sauce and cheese is like the inside of a manicotti.

chicken salad is awesome so is tuna.

Also I don't put it on a blender I either cook to mush consistency and mash with a fork or use a food processor. Its exactly like making food for when your kids start eating solids..lol

My favorite puree was my homemade beef stew put through the food processor. Plenty of Protein with all the veggies.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
