Hi! So I'm excited yet so nervous I'm about to start the purée stage of my program. I received a week by week packet but it is very vague. I know a lot of it is a gamble because everyone is different, but I'm looking for suggestions on things and brands you may have tried during this period. On my list is said yogurt, puréed soup, scrambled eggs, and cottage cheese. Any advice anyone would like to share would be greatly appreciated!! ????????????

I ate all of those things without any trouble along with applesauce. My puree week went quickly, so I didn't needed to worry about much else. That along with your protein and liquid requirements should keep you busy lol.

Thank you! ????

@@Gullies I love refried Beans w/ Ricotta cheese, cottage cheese w/ blended pears, scrambled eggs with a sprinkle of cheese, sliced deli meat, applesauce w/ cinnamon, and my Soups. I still love my Stage 1 soups!

Also, I tried a Pintos & Cheese from Taco Bell the other day and it was AMAZING! Good Protein, too!

Thank you so much @ that is so helpful!!! ????????????

The only time I have ever used Ricotta cheese is for my Lasagna.... So pardon my ignorance, but do you heat up the ricotta cheese along with the refried Beans?

Or do you eat it cold like with Cottage cheese?

Just about anything you can churn up and lubricate with broth to the consistency of pudding will work by the way my area does puréed for 3 weeks not one. Supposedly makes the anastamosis heal more gently

When I ate pureed chicken, I threw up. I don't suggest chicken.

I know some people love cottage cheese, and I know it's good protein, but I'm not a fan. especially cold. However, during the puree stage I found I really enjoyed baked beans pureed with cottage cheese and a bit of paprika. In fact, it's something I still have now ... although I add in a few extras like garlic and cooked onion. It's really nice not pureed, sometimes with a poached egg on top; or still pureed to work as a dip with low-carb Crispbread or low-carb wraps cut into wedges and dry fried in a pan until crispy, so they end up sort of like big tortilla chips.
