I start my pureed phase tomorrow for the next two weeks.

1. My doctor said I could have a scrambled egg. Do I need to put the cooked scrambled egg in the blender?

2. I am also seeing a lot of people say they have re-fried Beans and cheese. Do I put that in the blender too?

I'm on a roll with dumb questions that have probably been answered somewhere on this forum....

3. I am assuming I will still need two Protein shakes to make sure I get all my protein in?

4. Do I put the greek yogurt in the blender? (May be one of the stupidest questions I have ever asked)

Trying to make a daily menu before I go pick up stuff at the store. Can anyone share what a typical day in the puree phase looked like?

Thanks for the help after you stop laughing.

Not stupid questions! Valid for your new life. Got questions ask we all learn as we go. I'm a November sleeper and I learn something new everyday! For real everyday is a learning opportunity.

No stupid questions, I had scrambled eggs and I just mashed it with a fork. Most things can be mashed with a fork if you can tolerate it. During this stage I ate a lot of soup, protein drinks and jello.

No worries there! Just eat slowly and chew chew chew. You got this Rockstar!

Good questions...my surgeon called this the soft foods phase. I haven't puréed anything. I eat the ricotta bake (truly delicious), refried Beans, scrambled eggs, and lentil Soup. At first, the only meat I could have was baby shrimp. Now I can have flaky white fish, crab, scallops, and tuna. So I've found good recipes for crab dip, crab cakes, Parmesan tilapia...all good. I highly recommend checking Pinterest for ideas. It's strange that some folks are eating spicy things like salsa and Taco Bell sauce. My doc was scared just to let me use black pepper on anything. Told me to go easy on that or anything other spice. Anyway, good luck. The soft foods phase isn't too bad. Then again eggs and beans are two of my favorites anyway, so it wasn't so bad.

Never hurts to ask anything on here, that is what we are is support for each other. I agree with high functioning fat man on all. Good luck with everything. You can check your list or with dr office, but one of things that helped me a lot too was sugar-free popsicles (box of grape,cherry & orange) but have to be ones that were 15 calories each. Helped because could feel like chewed something but was still ok cause popsicle is just frozen liquid so your good. Good luck with upcoming surgery.

Great post and replies, this helped me mentally to plan for post op. It's not as scary seeing I can eat so many delicious options in moderation.

Hi Hun idk if this may sound good to you or weird but if you take the cottage cheese or low fat ricotta cheese and put a little bit of vanilla extract and a pinch of cinnamon it's delightful , I'm not really a big egg person eaither I never really was idk why. Also idk someone was telling me about the laughing cow small lowfat cheese are Also a good way to get Protein and are soft . Also I do a lot of yogurt . And almond milk . emoji33]

Better to ask than to jack up your healing process. Your questions did make me chuckle though. Good luck

Don't need to feel like that. We support each other here. You don't need to use a blender. You should be able to mash everything with the fork. Good luck!!

Not dumb at all. I did not blend the eggs. I do not think you need to blend the Beans

Not stupid at all very smart to ask . We all went through this and no way do any of us want to mess it up. But yes it does give a chuckle because I went through the same thoughts. Remember never over due the volume of what you consume. That uncomfortable feeling is to much . At least that is the way I was . You can still over eat after you heal . Good luck

Refried Beans with cheese and eggs were my go to foods! I'm impressed if you can get 2.protein shakes in. I still couldn't eat that much at the pureed /soft.food stage

Glad you think about it and don't skip something that could be important. You are getting to the chew, chew, chew phase and that will take the place of your blender. Just know those of us that snicker only do so because we have been there!
