So Friday I shall be upgraded to purée! Be honest, will I get full quick? I'm scared I won't get full! Should I make my food with less broth so it's thicker, assuming I can tolerate it?

My go-to was creamed soups like cheddar broccoli made with skim milk. Take tiny spoonfuls (baby spoon), go slow. At first you'll only get maybe 1/4 cup in (and it will be cold by the time you finish!) it's very filling and satisfying just be sure to still have protein shakes for nutrition when you need to. A 1/4 cup of soup doesn't give you much, even with milk. Just be careful with lumps too, strain your soup if there's chinks of veggies, etc. in the soups. Good luck!

I just started my soft foods and purees yesterday. I made my self an egg this morning and thought "there is no way this is goin to fill me up.". I couldnt even eat it all. I had applesauce on the side because that was a suggested meal from the nutritionist, but I couldn't even fathom eating that. I was SHOCKED ( the fat girl in me loved the taste and wanted to keep eating, but there was just no way). Good luck!

Thank you both! That helps so much!!!

You can eat anything with apple sauce consistency . I actually had blended chicken breast with lite mayo today it was not a purée since it was dry and no broth it went down k but I was only able to eat 2 one oz cups and I was full even apple sauce I had to finish in 2 go :)refried Beans with Low fat cheese is another good option

Hi! I am on my last day of Purees today! Soft foods tomorrow, but my favorite go tos for puréed stage was heated fat free refried Beans with cold cottage cheese......took me two hours to eat the first bowl! Another favorite of mine is cream of chicken mixed with unflavored Protein powder (make sure to let it cool to below 140 before putting the powder in it) over top of mashed potatoes.....heaven and super full really quick! So, best to make small amounts and finish throughout the day. You do get super full!
