Very excited to be starting with pureed Foods on Monday does anybody have any favorites that they would like to share. I can't imagine what it's going to be like eating pureed foods for 4 weeks so I'm hoping maybe someone has some recipes for some stuff that tastes pretty good. Looking forward to having an egg. Never thought I'd hear myself say that!

touch down taco dip was a big fav of mine. family ate it with chips and I ate it with a fork.

1 can of refried Beans. grate a clove of garlic and a smidge of taco seasoning. I also like to add 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.

spread it in a shallow baking dish

then in a food processor, or by hand blend together 6 ounces of sour cream and half a package of cream cheese with some taco dip. when it is all blended spread on top of the beans - add shredded mexican cheese to top it off

cook for 20 minutes or so around 350 degrees.

then I ate it just like that.

now I add salsa to the top.

*Scrambled eggs with a bit of cottage cheese mixed in to make them super moist

*Refried beans with melted cheese and green chili sauce

*Hummus

*Guacamole

*Pureed tuna fish (yes, this was good with a dab of mustard)

*Plain Greek yogurt flavored with protein powder and/or Torani syrups

*Any kind of soup I could find that didn't contain rice or noodles....pureed with unflavored protein powder added

*I also continued with my protein drinks thoughout all stages as they are an easy way to help meet protein and fluid goals.

My favorite pureed food was........two scoops of Protein powder over ice and Water.......shake, stir and enjoy.

Sorry....I didn't do pureed food stage. I was scared of it. I needed the extra time on shakes to get me further away from food, in general. I need those extra weeks to simply stay the course and redefine my thoughts and responses to foods.

I had to approach it this way for my own well being. Glad I did.

@@Dub thanks for sharing. Just shows how individual every WLS journey is and how important it is to structure your plan in a way that works for you.

Roas some whole eggplants until they ate very tender. Once they are cool enough to handle scoop thw flesh into a food processor. Add a bit of mayo, salt, garlic, and lemon juice and puree it

Or

Cut up some cauliflower into small pieces. Toss with some olive oil, salt, and garlic powder. When they are fork tender and brown around the edges puree them in a food processor. While it's still warm add a wedge Or two of laughing cow cheese

YUM! I'm buying eggplant the next time I go to the store! I'm 2 1/2 years out, but gotta admit some of my favorite foods are from the pureed stage.

Thank you all so much ! Can't wait to try them out.
