I'm totally hating this puree stage of this diet...I can't even fathom most foods being pureed and appealing...I did make pinto beans and made refried beans...that's about the only thing besides my shakes that I find I can bare...I need more protein and the shakes are so old...I'm only one week post-op and still have three weeks on this crazy diet....[emoji13]

It was explained to me that purée is no thicker than the consistency of applesauce and soft is what you can smash with a fork. I can't do scrambled eggs till soft foods. I want an egg so bad.

You can purée your scrambled egg.... don't think I can hack that, unless I added mayo or ranch maybe have it kinda taste like egg salad

I made the amazing ricotta bake that didn't look gross. Find a recipe for purree Buffalo chicken. Trying to convince myself to view it as a dip

I just made a puréed chicken salad. It turned out delicious! Pre-cooked chicken, fagé yogurt, lemon juice and garlic salt. Yummmmmm

I got little 2oz freeze cups to be able to make a bunch of puree before I even have surgery so I can super plan! Give me all your best puree recipes

Hey Mimiol3,

I am right with you. I am in my second week and they told me to purée now, I am so tired of this nasty process of food I don't know what to do. No matter how well it is seasoned, once you puree it, it losers EVERYTHING!!! Ugh!

I jump into purees tomorrow and I'm so exciting to eat something besides Soup and shakes! One suggestion I read that didn't completely turn my stomach was blended chili...anything else appetizing that people are eating in this stage? Fish in a blender = no thank you.

I am excited about beginning puréed foods. I can begin on Monday. I have thought of beans and cheese, plus scrambled or soft boiled eggs. I am working on myself about the look of puréed foods and I think it is going to be difficult. Oh yeah..chicken and tuna sales I think I can make tolerable. I try and keep myself in the mode of thinking "This is all part of your new story and it is one more chapter, short in length when I think of the rest of my life"
