Okay so tomorrow I start eating purée foods!

I would like some ideas of what you ate that week! recipes?!

Suggestions please!

Applesauce!

Isn't this real fattening??? Did you still loose after eating that??

It's cheese, so there is fat, but you need some fat for sure. Cheese is a better choice than mashed potatoes, cause there is Protein in it. Fat is not the enemy! Personally since my surgery 19 months ago I do not eat any low fat, fat free, or sugar free crap. I do all high quality ingredients because I eat so little of it. I do 2% milk, full fat cheeses and salad dressings. And if I get a latte, I don't get sugar free syrup. I think it helps your body crave less. I made goal eating cheese at least twice a day! Everyone is different but this has worked for me. I have maintained my weight +/- 5 pounds for an entire year.

Totally agree on this!

I ate a lot of baby food at this stage. The only two downsides were that they don't have much protein and needed salt. However, they provided much needed variety. My favs were peas and carrots.

So today I started puréed food, this morning I started off with some apple sauce.

Every time I take a bite it hurts my chest and stomach. Is this normal? How long will it last?

Also how often and how much did you eat on purée?

Thanks for all the help!!

I start tomorrow I'm nervous about this also.

i puree half banana into my choc protein shake , its awesome for a change.. and peanut butter powder from amazon for a pb choc shake.. other than the 2 shakes, i have a tiny bit cottage cheese.. pureed bean bacon soup.. yogurt lights that are flavored like lemon pie etc from yoplait , thats about all i can get down

Yeah, I tried to eat applesauce and it makes me very crampy. I'm drinking some soup but I'm scared I'm going to drink too much.

How much do you consume at one time. I think I'm paranoid about how much!

Also how are you doing on liquids? I can't seem to drink more than 16oz I know that's horrible.

I would

When I eat soup I usually measure out 4oz and I only eat about 3oz of it. Just make sure you measure and eat slow so you don't consume to much at one time. I've eaten to much and didn't fell very good after. I have a rough time with liquids also, I am having to force myself to drink tons of water but I'm really wanting to make this work and I've only lost 1lb in the last week so I figured I needed to focus on the water.

Thank you I was looking for this answer lol being a truck driver my resources and time on the road are limited and figured baby food might be the way to go with added protein of course

I'm making that tonight I can't wait.

I made it last night or was good have left overs too

May I suggest making this in muffin tins!! Perfect meal size!!

Would this shorten the baking time?

I had mashed sweet potato' date=' baked ricotta, cream of wheat, a little watery oatmeal, Protein shakes, Soups that had chunks that I put in the blender. I am on soft foods for 3 more weeks (just about done with week 1 of soft foods). Today I had egg beaters and didn't have any issues.[/quote']
