Pureed stage

[emalou47 29]

In a couple of days I am about to go into my pureed stage post op. Does anyone have any tips on what's the easiest things to have or what to avoid. My dietician said she will call me next week but I'm worried in case I can keep anything down.

I didn't have any problems with purée (mine was purée /mushy) I eat things like refried Beans and ricotta bake, baby food just take it slow.

Anything pureed or naturally soft like refried Beans. I had some zuchinni with Pasta sauce last night and it was great! Your surgeon or Nut should give you a list of ideas, but some common ones I see are pureed: tuna salad, hummus, refried Beans, soft scrambled egg, ricotta bake, pureed veggies.

Thanks did either of you find the transition hard ??

I cooked some carrots, celery, and onions in chicken broth, then puréed it. It looks gross but tastes just like chicken Soup. I didn't even think of eating hummus! I'll have to try that.

I'll be starting my pureed stage in a week and those 3 things were the first thing I've bought in preparation for it. I also bought some low fat grated cheese to sprinkle on the refried Beans (more protein!), and I even remembered to get marinara for the ricotta bake. I am soooo looking forward to that ricotta bake!

Thanks, as I am allergic to cheese I have to cut that out of everything. I am fed up of just eating Soups at the moment so my motivation isn't what it should be. Any tips are appreciated

I start my purée phase in 2 days. I wonder why there is no thread for recipes? You would think that there would be tons of recipes here.

does amyone feel like they can eat more ? i'm in my second week on puree foods but I swear i'm eating more than the 1st week

[emalou47 29]

I am not 100 percent sure if I am eating more as my nutritionist said that it will take longer for the pureed food to leave your stomach so you won't eat as much. But your body maybe getting used to eating a different type of food so it could be possible I would check with your medical team to be sure.

I actually would take a small piece of chicken the my husband cooked and purée it with chicken broth....I also puréed cooked carrots with onions to go with it! Granted I only ate maybe a tablespoon or two of both but it was good!!
