Stay away from high fats and high carbs and high sugars ..Protein is #1

You truly can puree anything. I blended soup, eggs, and chili. I did not blend cottage cheese because it kind of sounded gross. Yogurt is a good staple too...greek. I returned to work at 3 weeks and was on pureed foods. I ate oatmeal for bfast and mostly soups for lunch. Dinner...I just blended whatever we were having or had blended soup. I did do hummus a couple of times, as well as pintos & cheese (from taco bell) when we were out and about and needed to eat.

More food ideas : Scrambled eggs , deviled eggs , check the recipe forum area of this website there is a lot of meal ideas and pureed ideas that will give you more ideas : )

THANK YOU JamesGz! Great ideas! Deviled eggs.... yum! I am sure I'll only be able to eat one, but that sounds so much better than another sugar free popsicle!

use the lowest fat mayo you can find.. i just finished the pureed stage of my post op diet : )

I blended just about everything I cooked my husband. Some good, some not so good. I did try to stay away from high fat foods. I cooked with the 98% ff soups. I tried blended smoked chicken with bbq sauce. It didn't make me sick, but set on my stomach like a brick. Blended lean meatloaf with a little added ketchup(no high fructose corn syrup) was pretty tasty. I stuck with lf cottage cheese for breakfast because it has 14 gm of protein. Taco bell refried beans and cheese, yummy, they even sell them at the store by the can.

I have been blending lean cuisine and they taste wonderful. This way I know I am getting healthy food high in protein and it does all the counting and measuring for me.

pureed cottage chesse isn't "gross". It has the consistencty of Greek yogurt.

For breakfast, I did pureed cottage cheese with a little vanilla extract, cinnamon, and artificial sweetner. It tastes like a cinnamon roll with cream cheese frosting!

Another treat: 16 ounces low-fat cottage cheese pureed with 1 small envelope of sugar free Jello powder - makes four 4 oz. servings. strawberry is my favorite, but any flavor will work.

Similar to Jon's recipe above. Favorite recipe from my nut:

High Protein pudding:

16 oz. cottage cheese

1 package sf pudding mix

1 scoop Protein powder

4 tbsp ff milk

8 oz. ff or sf cool whip

Mix first 4 ingredients in food processor until smooth, then fold in whipped topping. Chill and serve. 20-25 grams of protein per 1/2 c serving.

I am starting the puree stage tomorrow also thank goodness. I started getting bored with Soups today and tried scrambled egg for Breakfast with no issues. I also had some low fat cottage cheese for lunch. Keep the puree ideas coming please.

Thanks for some great ideas!!!

Do you use unflavored protein in that recipe? It sounds great!

Great ideas! I need to start copying all of these so I don't forget them.

If you can handle eggs then maybe you can make deviled eggs, tuna fish, or egg salad. I buy frozen Italian meatballs and bake in marinara sauce and top it with Italian cheese. I eat cheese sticks for a snack. Chili topped with cheese or Wendy's chili. Baked sweet potatoes or refrained beans topped with cheese.
