Hi all, I'm sure you're all asked about this a bit, but I also just wanted to talk lol. I've been feeling pretty good and my surgeon cleared me for puree foods today, I was so excited. Well I found myself at KFC getting mashed potatoes for lunch then Taco Bell getting mushy Beans with nacho cheese and sour cream. I am pretty sure this wasn't what my surgeon had in mind, but I've been so over liquids and Soups I wanted something different.

Does anyone have any tasty recommendations for their puree stage that were quick and easy to grab? Or stored well once prepared?

I made a ricotta bake and portioned into tupperware and froze. Portioned things for smoothies and froze so that I could pull out and blend and go. Made cheddar, broccoli and cauliflower Soup and froze into portions etc. I meal prepped for the whole 2 weeks on puréed, in one day and froze everything. There are many great recipes on Pinterest for all the Bariatric diet stages. Oh and eggs. I ate eggs until I couldn't eat eggs anymore! I literally despise them now.

I did quite a bit of canned chicken with nonfat mayo added to it and some salt, pepper, and garlic. It was one of my favorite things, plus you get a lot of your Protein that you need with the chicken.

I also liked nonfat refried Beans with light sour cream and a couple dashes of hot sauce, mashed sweet potatoes, and Egg Beaters, which are great because they are high in protein and fat free.

My plan says that eggs are in the "soft food" stage, but you guys can eat them during the pureed stage?

Yes, I was allowed to have scrambled eggs during the pureed phase. But I couldn't have hard boiled eggs until the soft stage, which is where I am now.

My first post-op appt is this Friday, I'm asking about the eggs - would love love love some scrambled eggs!

I ate pate, low-fat goat cheese, bruschetta, eggplant spread, hummus, and more. I was so happy to be off liquids that I only wanted delicious things. costco also carries these Beans in the refrigerated section that were a lifesaver. They are fresh, not canned, organic, and come in multiple delicious flavors.

I love plan puréed chicken or turkey. You can add a little BBQ sauce, or ketchup or mayo. Delicious! My doctor and his nutritionist says fat free mayo is high in sugar, so they say to use regular mayo.

I'm curious during the purée phase can you basically take anything healthy and blend/puree it? My day is 12/16 so will still be several weeks till then but was just curious?
