Does anyone have any suggestions for pureed food



Recommended Posts

I've reached the point where I can eat puréed foods. I need suggestions on foods. I'm a big fish eater and I would love some salmon... Hellllllp

I pureed salmon with a little bit of tartar sauce or remoulade. Go to the super market and find where they have all the sauces. Pick a couple that you think would be good on salmon and give them a whirl.

You can buy the little pouches of salmon in the canned meat aisle, too. I found the lemon dill salmon was delicious pureed, I liked the little bit of extra flavor it added.

I played around with the different flavors of tuna as well, like pureeing the thai spice tuna with Sriracha sauce, and the hickory smoked tuna with low calorie BBQ Sauce. I pureed chicken with marinara sauce, then heated it up in the microwave and melted some mozzarella cheese on top for a kind of Italian style chicken. It was good!

I used to get Thai curry at a local restaurant and put it in my blender :)

That was always a treat!

I blended tuna with greek yogurt and pickle juice. It was awesome. Today I made an omelette with that tuna.

tuna omelette (puree) 16.5 grams of protein!

I've been on pureed for 6 days, and I was also dying for fish. I poached a 4oz. salmon steak in caramelized onion, lemon juice, garlic and fresh dill and chives. I cooked it JUST til done, so it would be juicy and slide down easily. I promptly took a small, scrumptious bite, chewing 30x, and after swallowing, it caused me some major discomfort. I was so bummed! I probably had 3 - 4 bites before giving up. The next day, I added some mayo and parmesan cheese. Delicious and it went down a little easier, but it still caused me notable discomfort. By far, it has been the most uncomfortable thing I've eaten. That tells me I'm just not ready for something that bulky yet.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
