Suggestions On Puree Foods

[NisaletOAM 48]

Hi all im 15 days post op and im on the purse stage. Im really pruning out of ideas I started mash and sweet potato purse I did ham and cheese purse but I need some suggestions. Im worried because I started this stage and my weight loss is stalled and I gained a pound im 27 pounds down and im not sure if im doing something wrong.

Today I think I messed up I had turkey chilling but since it was so soft I chewed the heck out of it and didn't purse it went down fine but im scared im doing this wrong. Any advise is appreciated.

Thanx guys!!!!

I got some recipes from The World According To Eggface. The baked ricotta was my fav!

My fav is pureed refried Beans (whiz them in blender til smooth), then add a teaspoon of cheese whiz and heat in microwave. I add a dab of light sour cream and a dash of Tabasco. (i have a sleeve of steel so far so spicy doesn't bother me, but YMMV)

I've also tried canned chicken, pureed, and added a bit of BBQ Sauce. Pop in the microwave to warm up. Add shredded cheese if you like.

Scrambled eggs are another fav (add a bit of Water to make them fluffy and soft). Try it scrambled with a Laughing Cow cheese wedge!

Oh, if you like pudding... Try adding unflavored Protein powder to sugar free pudding!

Have you tried greek yogurt? Get plain greek yogurt and mix in a few pumps of your favorite sugar-free syrup! Or, if you're cleared to have pureed fruits, mix that in with the greek yogurt and add splenda or truvia, etc. to sweeten.

I threw 1 egg white, turkey sausage crumbles, Water and a tiny bit of cheese in my food processor and made an omelet. Just make sure its fluffy. I don't know if the sausage was supposed to be allowed but I ground it down to a fine powder

Tonight I pureed some roast beef and moistened with Tomato sauce. It was good

I also added a bit of corn dip to an egg and mashed it. Trying to mix it up a bit and not get bored. But I am loving plain cottage cheese.... Straaange

I'm new to this stage too. So far, I've had

Refried Beans with a little cheese and sour cream

pureed chicken with cream of mushroom

Left over chicken from above with verde enchilada sauce

tuna fish with a hard boiled egg and onion pureed topped with Frank's hot sauce

Cottage cheese with pureed canned peaches

So far all has been good!

My family had tacos tonight, so I put low fat sour cream, cheese and taco meat in a blender. It basically made a dip. I hate Beans, but that could easily be added. After weeks Clear Liquids, it tasted like heaven. If only I could've eaten more than three bites..,,
