Hi There,

I'm almost a week post op and entering the pureed phase and was wondering what others out there live on on this phase. So if you have any recipes or even some ideas that you think others will benefit from please feel free to post and lets see how this forum goes.

Thank you all!

refried Beans on baked tortilla chips with some low fat cheddar cheese. I also like chicken Soup blenderized all together. I like to make a cheese roux and add chicken stock and some over cooked vegetables like broccoli or asparagus. my go to when I am on mushies is eggs sunnyside up with some pico de gallo or sririchi. chili. atthis point I bought chili without beans. man that first bite was heaven. I licked the little bowl. it is important since you have no restriction to really concentrate on the portion sizes. it would be so easy to eat a whole can of chili. but if you don't learn portion size it is very difficult when you are getting your fills. so learn all you can about eating properly. or you will be in mental pain all the time. good luck as you advance your phases.

I used this site during this stage http://www.advancedbariatricsurgery.com/forum/default.aspx?f=5 I hope this helps! Good Luck

I'm about a week away from the mushy stage myself so I've been gathering ideas too! I have a blog with a recipes page. Here's the link to the blended foods ideas if you want to check them out

Thanks everyone!!!

I kept it simple...my go to's were tuna, egg and chicken salad with light mayo....in a magic bullet it was a perfect consistency and has lots of Protein. I had the same meals as my family I just magic bulleted it to the right mushiness (chicken w/ mashed potatoes and gravy, 93% ground beef made into taco meat, wendy's chili blended w/ sour cream.)

You can puree anything...it doesnt always look appealing but tastes soooo yummy after being on liquids!
