I am right there with you. I've looked up some recipes online. I found a really cool ricotta recipe and spruced it up with some unflavored protein powder for extra protein. I can only eat about 3 tablespoons of food right now so it will last me for about 10 servings.

It is a container for ricotta (low fat part-skim) cheese mixed with an egg, spices to taste (garlic, salt, pepper, oregano, parsley), and mix that with a scoop of unflavored protein powder. Then I put 2/3 a cup of low-sugar tomato sauce on top and 1/2 a cup of low-fat part-skim mozzarella cheese. I baked this at 350 for about 30 minutes until bubbly.

It's really good! 96 calories per serving, 4.6 grams of fat, 4.3 carbs, .3 fiber, 1.2 sugar, and 8.1 protein.

I also made a protein pudding that went down really well. I got sugar free fat free pudding mix, mixed with 16 oz of fair-life 0% milk (fair life milk has more protein) and 2 scoops of protein powder. It makes around 18 - 1oz servings for 33 calories a pop .1 gram of fat, 2. carbs, .2 fiber, .7 sugars, and 5 grams of protein.

I love sharing recipes and hope this helps.

If your stomach can handle it. I can have anything that is high in protein and can be tolerated as long as it is the consistenty of apple sauce.

I noticed that many people put protein powder in their food. Is that necessary?! Thanx!

If you can get it in from other sources or don't mind drinking the shakes it isn't. I just drank the shakes.

In terms of protein powder I couldn't do it. I tried so many different brands of "unflavored" powder and all I could taste was the powder.

Some of the meals I ate during my pureed diet were:

Refried Beans with Salsa and Cheese

Blended turkey chili, I would sometime blend in some lowfat sour cream with it

Tuna in the blender with a little mayo and some relish (if that's allowed on your plan)

Cottage cheese with a fruit (I used baby food fruits)

Cream Soups
