Puree stage - any recommendations?

[cuchas 51]

Hi everyone!

I spoke to my nutritionist this morning and I am finally on the puree stage 9 days out. I had a very stressful week and am a little embarrassed of the post I made yesterday. I was really sad and dramatic but thank you to everyone for being my support system

I do have a question. What were you all eating during the puree stage? As of now, I know I can eat pureed eggs, tuna, chicken, and mashed potatoes. I asked my nutritionist specifically what I should be eating and she said I can eat anything as long as it goes down safely and is very chewable/mashed so it can go down safely.

So... what are you all eating? Are you guys eating regular foods besides chicken and tuna that can go down by mashing it up?

I ate yogurt, cream of wheat, got homemade Soups from the grocery store, applesauce, drank 2 Protein drinks a day (Premier Protein 30gms) SF pudding, at that phase I wasn't really hungry. A little bit goes a long way. I spoiled myself with mashed potato and gravy from KFC. I couldn't deal with mashing things that have texture. I looked at baby food but it is so high in calories, carbs, sugars it's not worth it. Best of luck on your journey!

Just tried tuna. Did not go well. Try Shelly's Ricotta Bake. It's awesome and goes down great.

Try Tomato Soup from Panera bread! Yummy

I'm on pureed food now and I've been eating egg salad, tuna salad, SF pudding with unflavored Protein powder mixed in, and always a Protein shake in the morning (either one of my go-to Syntrax flavors, or a Premier pre-made one). Tonight I tried pureed ground turkey with a wedge of laughing cow cheese and some mustard mixed in. It wasn't half bad.

My fave so far is refried Beans, chicken, cheese and salsa all blended up. Good luck.

I am still in purée stage and I have a few things I like. 1. Rotisserie chicken picked off the bone and purred with broth or an enchilada sauce. 2. Turkey meatballs from trader joes, super tasty- little broth to get the texture right but then a dab of sour cream works well with it. 3. Greek whips with 1/2 scoop unflavored Protein Powder, and I have been adding mashed raspberries to it, yummy. 4. Grilled chicken burger puréed with broth.

Just a few things I like right now and am not sick of them yet at 3 weeks of them.
