So, my wife had her surgery and came out ready to go, but all she wants to eat is mashed potatoes, because the liquid diet was so blah she doesn't want anything from it, besides a protein shake. I need ideas to make her some food that tastes good but isn't a straight liquid for the next couple weeks. Thanks. couple

If she is on pureed:

cottage cheese

thicker soups(any kind)

chicken

tuna

any canned meats

eggs(delicious with a laughing cow cheese mixed in)

there are so many things you can puree but try to remember to have something with protein. Mashed potatoes don't.

I am thinking of ideas as well. What about refried beans and black beans?

Drexelgirl posted this last night. Look through and see if it will give you some ideas.

I guess it depends if you are watching your carbs. Yes both have lots of protein and carbs. I have not tried refried beans as they are very thick and I am not sure that I can handle them right now. Based on carb quantity though I don't think I will. You can also have thinned out cream of wheat and oatmeal but again I look for only foods with a good amount of protein. Make sure you take your biotin, B12 and multi vitamin everyday!
