Any ideas for good food while on the puréed stage? I start on Wednesday and want to go grocery shopping and have everything ready!

I haven't had surgery yet but my lil booklet says I start puree diet the second day after surgery ans it just said to blend up regular food. Its says for meats to blend them with a lil broth or the liquid they cooked in and also with veggies. Fruits to just blend by themselves and if needed add a little water.

Here's what you can eat:

Fat free Cottage cheese

Fat free yogurt & greek yogurt

Scrambled eggs

Tuna with light mayo pureed

Tilapia fillet pureed with light mayo or fat free tartar sauce

I didn't tolerate beef

Ruthie...the best puréed food I ate, and once I did, it was all I wanted...was puréed Boars Head oven-gold turkey breast, a few spoon fills of broth and acon squash sprinkled with cinnimon that had been baked in the oven! It was soooo good!!!

Tuna mixed with french onion laughing cow cheese..delicious!

can you not just eat baby food and make sure that there is no sugar and carbs in it maybe like the organic types or maybe the brands at Whole Foods or Central Market have no sugar added and no carbs.... I didn't know if I should buy a baby puree Machine for 50 bucks for my puree Stage I thought about it.... then you can just puree anything

Yes, pretty sure baby food is fine, well at least my doc & nut said it was ok...here's the thing: have you ever eaten a baby food meat product..?? It has the nastiest consistency and taste =\ BLECH!

My doc said no baby food. He says it fill of fillers and sugar and little nutrients cuz it job is to make babies gain weight. Maybe the ones at whole food are better. I'm just going to puree the protein and veggie that I cook for my husbands meal. I have a pretty good blender so it will do. Only on that stage for 2 weeks.

Watch out for fat free products...they often have higher sugars/carbs. My doc put emphasis on the carb count, not so much on the fat count- and he doesn't allow any fruit- due to the sugar count:(
