Hello, I'm on week 4 Post Op pureed foods and I'm nervous about Thanksgiving dinner. I'm finding myself upset that I won't be able to enjoy the usual foods I eat on Thanksgiving. Thankfully, I don't have to host this year but my mother is cooking and I love her food. It's going to be a challenge since I'm not able to eat what everyone else will be eating. I'm going to at least get some turkey with gravy and bring mash potatoes I will make only for myself. I think it would be easier if I could do soft foods but that's not until week 5 post op.

Anyone have any other pureed food suggestions on what else I could eat for Thanksgiving dinner? Anyone else having to deal with the same challenge of eating pureed on Thanksgiving?

I couldn't have turkey or mashed potatos until the soft food stage. Take and enjoy a favorite cream soup. It is just one meal on one day. You have a tiny bit of room. You could even have a protein shake right before you go to help with temptations.

I concur if your plan calls for liquid then stick to liquid the plan is there for a reason. Jmho

I plan on pureeing 2 oz of turkey with chicken broth. I actually did it with chicken tonight and it was delicious. I tolerated it well and it was as smooth as yogurt. I won't do mashed potatoes because they are not on my plan. I may try and puree a little bit of green bean casserole since I can have the green Beans and cream soup.

That sounds really good! Happy Thanksgiving

Yeah, I'd think a slice of turkey pureed with some gravy would be good if you're looking to get the Thanksgiving feel. I had mashed potatoes on puree, so if your plan calls for that, they'd be a good couple bites. Enjoy your Holiday regardless - it's really about spending time with family and friends. ☺

@sunnydeeliteful Happy Thanksgiving! Enjoy every morsel.
