I got some in the Dollar Tree, in the aisle with the napkins and foils and ziplock bags, but a larger quantity package in target near the rubbermaid containers.

Thanks so much! My pureed stage is combined with my soft food stage, but I love the idea pre measuring these out for the week.

I just started purée also. I cooked boneless chicken in the crock pot until it was really soft, then puréed it with some of the broth, a tiny bit of Neufchâtel cheese and sour cream, and fajita type seasoning. I put a sprinkle of cheddar on when heating and it's really good. I found some glass custard cups with lids at Walmart, they are 4 oz, but they are perfect for measuring my portions and reheating.

I start puree tomorrow. I'm really excited to have somewhat real food. Tired of liquids!

3 wks post-op & I tried smoothies by adding a piece of fruit to my shakes: no bueno. I have been able to get an ounce of NF cottage cheese or 1 egg & keep it in so very bueno. I'm taking the reintroduction of foods very slowly. Just want to be able to tolerate an ounce of anything right now. And, I'm grateful, very very grateful.

Good for you! That's the way to do it. I started my full liquids this morning and made 1oz of cream of wheat which was absolutely huge! I just picked at it and went very slow and didn't even make a dent in it. Just scared to go,overboard right now!

My doctor and nut have me on 2 weeks liquid, 4 weeks purée(no cream of wheat or oatmeal allowed), then 4 weeks of soft foods (like oatmeal). It seems like most people are only on purée for 2 weeks. Is 4weeks normal for purée diet?

@starfishwish thanks for sharing! I just ordered these containers.
