Hello guys quick questions...can I eat corn flakes while in the puree stage? I've also read that some of you have had tuna and canned chicken while in this stage but do you LITERALLY puree the tuna or canned chicken or just mash it up with a fork? Thanks for your help.

Corn flakes are straight up carbs. Avoid them if at all possible. They are not setting you up for success.

I mashed the fish with a fork and chewed well. You can also look up a recipe for Greek yogurt "mayonnaise" that will help it go down smoother.

I am on my third week after the surgery and started the purée stage. I was told to blend everything. I bought some organic baby food for work, it is delicious and filling.

I had my surgery on 11-14.

I am also in the pureed stage. I mashed my tuna up with a fork and then just chewed each bite 20 times like they told us to. Works fine. Just found out that I hate canned tuna though, so won't be eating that again. Next stop, I will be trying canned chicken... hope it's better than the tuna!

Other things I have tried so far on the pureed:

Egg Beaters- mashed up and chewed well... not bad

Cottage cheese... not bad

and my favorite.... fat free refried Beans with a teaspoon of light sour cream.

Good luck!

Ricotta bake, puréed homemade turkey chili and Soups.

I used a minichopper - looks like a tiny food processor and only costs about $10. Pureed either canned tuna, chicken or salmon with about a tablespoon of plain nonfat greek yogurt. I really liked the flavored pouches of tuna and salmon for this. I lived on that during pureed stage. The ricotta bake is good also. And cottage cheese - no need to puree that just chew it well.
