After being on liquids since July 7th I had my first puree meal. I've been waiting for this day. My stomach is talking to me, but all went down well and I didn't have any complications. I could only eat about 4 baby spoonfuls. This pyrex will last me forever!

Wasn't it delicious!! I know my first soft solid meal was amazing!!!

Fresh Ricotta and Shredded Parmesan Cheese from Trader Joe's and savory Barilla marinara sauce. :-)

I think Iam doing it all wrong. Iam pureeing my food, but, it comes out like a milkshake. Totally gross. What consistancy should I be pureeing my food? Can it have little chunks in it?If someone could tell me, I would greatly appriciate it.

I blend my food as well, but this was an approved puree recipe on Pinterest. Here are some others. I love to cook, so I needed options.

Does anyone have a picture of some of their pureed food, so I can get an idea of the consistency?

I was 2 weeks yesterday, and was allowed finally my first 1/4 c of soft food. But I was scared so I took the vegetable peanut stew (west African) I made for the family yesterday and blended it and put 1/4 into the little bowl. It was delicious and spicy and I tried to take tiny bites and chew it a lot but it went down really easy.

I want that ricotta bake, looks so good.

I'm not sleeved yet (got banded in 2009, considering a revision to sleeve), but these are some awesome sources!! Thank you so much for sharing! I've just bookmarked them for the future. I might even try some of them now! They actually sound really yummy (and pretty darn simple)!

Second day of soft foods. Last night I made a refried bean cream cheese bake with cheddar melted on top. Then I served lots of other add ins for the family to make tacos. But I had my 1/4 c of the bean bake. I didn't need to purée it.

but my doctor's instructions are to take fingernail sized bites and chew each one 30 times. It took almost an hour to eat a quarter cup because I was biting the cheese into millimeter size. I was worried cheese would somehow hurt my stomach. But it didn't and it tasted really good. So maybe if the food is soft enough we don't have to purée it.
