Hi everyone, yesterday I finally got the ok to have puree and very soft foods after the liquid stage. Does any one have a yummy recipes? I want to make the ricotta bake, but can i have tomato sauce? Thanks for any help you can provide.

I would check with your surgeon to see what they allow at this stage, but one of my first puree meals was huevos rancheros! I mixed a little salsa with scrambled eggs and pureed. It didn't bother my stomach but I was only able to eat two bites.

You can also puree some chicken and light cream of mushroom soup, that is pretty good.

I start puree Tuesday and I cant wait to have eggs. I want to make fake taco with refried beans(add little milk to make it thinner) a little taco seasoning little salsa and teeny bit of cheese. I hope its going to be the best 2oz of "taco" ever. I can also have tuna so I going make it super runny with lite mayo( maybe greek yogurt) and hint of mustard. I can't wait to move on from soups all the time.

When I was on pureed some of my go to meals were:

Pureed chili with a little melted cheese and low fat sour cream

Refried beans with salsa and cheese

Ricotta bake

Cottage cheese with peach baby food mixed in

Pureed tuna with a little mayo and relish.

Cream Soups.

Check with your NUT or Surgeon to make sure you know what is allowed as every plan is different. I was allowed pretty much anything during my pureed stage as long as I could get it to the this pureed consistency.

Mashed potatoes, soft rotisserie chicken chopped up tiny, and canned soft green beans.

Tomato soup with a few croutons....each with a little bit of brie cheese spread

Avacado on pumpernickel toast, with lowfat swiss melted on top and some tiny diced tomato
