Hey everyone,

Just started week 2 of my full-liquid diet today, and I'm dreading stage 3... Puréed for me starts next Tuesday, and I don't know what I'm going to do. I've been looking at some baby food, but I'm worried I won't be able to tolerate it since my attempt to have yogurt almost made me dry heave.

My one thought was to do another 2 weeks of liquids, but I really should make some kind of attempt to thicken what I'm eating so I can be following the program.

Anyone have any suggestions or recipes that got you through the purée stage? Tomato Soup is my favorite thing during this stage, so if anyone has a thicker tomato soup suggestion that would be great... Looking forward to hearing what you guys think.

I was thinking of getting some chicken and cooking it, then purring it inside some tomato soup...

I'll eat/drink anything in tomato soup at this point to get through those two weeks LOL.

Thanks in advance.

Hi.. I'm currently on pureed & some of the foods I've tried so far are: buffalo chicken purée, refried Beans (added a bit of cheese), 1 scrambled egg, baby food meat, Baby food fruit (pineapple/pear) if I need something a bit sweet. I also made the ricotta thing (ricotta, tom sauce, Mozzarella cheese heated in microwave for 20 seconds. That was the insides of a lasagna.. Pretty good! Hope I gave you some options. Best of luck to you. Oh also, be sure to eat super slow because full liquids & pureed foods are quite different (full so much quicker from pureed).

To thicken my Soups I used some steamed zucchini. I pureed It and added it to a lot of different soups it doesn't have a lot of flavor so it just makes a good base.

How about adding some Greek yogurt to tomato soup to make it creamier.

Homemade Mashed potatoes! It some garlic in it then mash. Then I divide it into 1/2 cup portions and put some mozzarella on it.

Ooh good suggestion about puréed meat in tomato soup! I'm obsessed with my tom soup right now being on full liquids, I'm getting it at Panera (it's heavenly) I was thinking mannnn I don't want to ever touch broth again I'm so sick of it from my first few weeks post op, I really didn't wanna put it in meat and purée it, but awesome suggestion, I may even try some cheese soup :-P

I can't wait to try the Ricotta thing... It sounds delish.
