A nice meal I had for supper was:

Spread mashed Pots to cover about same area as Chicken, making top flat

Cover both with mushroom Soup (Like gravy) to moisten chicken and potatoes adding lots of Yummy flavour!

There you have a couple dishes I have tried and liked since my pureed diet began. Hope you like...

Sounds yummy! Thanks for giving us your recipes.

Hi,

I think I was too full - I couldn't eat very much except for liquids and soft foods. It could have been because I was sick but I don't think so. It feels pretty good now and I can't eat alot but it's just right - I'm still losing - more slowly but I'm enjoying healthy choices.

pureed foods are going well.

BIG test tonight as I have steak available on the menu and it has been a looooong time since I had one of those... I could put it through the F.P. but mushy steak... I think not!!!

Anyway, only about 10 day until people food again :clap2: !!!

Sadly for me, steak is one of the things that I am not able to eat yet. I bought some beutiful filet a while back and had my first serious sticking episode. After a few hours i was able to PB the offending nugget up. It was pretty sick. There was a peice of gristle that had been giving me greif.

The meat was so tender and it was cooked meduim rare. Who would have thought it would have been such a problem.

Be careful.

I haven't had steak yet but I did get a piece of pork chop stuck. What an awful feeling. It did go down eventually. Worse was a toasted bagel with tuna and mayo. I thought I chewed it really well but it got stuck. Worser feeling. That did work its way up and out. Hope that doesn't happen too often, it hurt and was scary.

Mmmmm steak. I've successfully eaten steak... it's possible! I'd like to give it another go sometime soon though. A big fat steak with peppercorn sauce.... yumma!

What are you guys doing to me!? I think every post I've made tonight has ended up with me in a food fantasy!

Mrs. Yoda told me about these NSVs, (non scale victories) and I thought that today I have had one and I should share...:horn:

About 5 years ago, I was diagnosed with Hypertension (high BP) :boom:and in a course of one month went from no pills to 2 pills in the AM and 5 pills in the PM to control it and I think it is controled quite well...

ONE week after joining the Banded side (You all might remember) my BP fell through the floor and I was dangerously close to hospital time to get it back up. :faint: That day May 10th, I stopped the pills (all of them) for fear of bottoming out and causing real damage to myself.

Today, 20 days after banding, my GP told me to throw the pills out as I NO LONGER HAVE HYPERTENSION! :whoo: I have been taken off the 7 pills I was on for 5 years that's 1826 days. and it only took 20 days since banding to get off them.

I think that qualifies as a NSV!!! :thumb:

Mr. Y - that is absolutely the BEST kind of NSV!!!! Congratulations!!!!!

Everyone say WOOTWOOT!!!!

Yippeeeee!!!!! Congrats to senor Yoda!

That is AWESOME !!!

Congrats on thebest thing you could do!!

That is totally AWESOME Mr Yoda,

Congrats on the victory.

Thats really great, congrats on that!

Wow Mr. Y! That is fabulous news.

hmmmmm, does that qualify, hmmmmm, I think for sure. Great job man!!

That is a great NSV Mr.Yoda. Hypertension can be a real problem. I am hoping to be off my BP meds pretty quick as well. If my damn life would cooperate and quit being so stressful.
