Had my surgery on April 24th and no amount of research could prepare me for what I felt! However, things are looking up for sure! I’m walking daily and getting back to feeling normal. I’m struggling with liquids but my mom came in for the surgery and she has a timer set to make sure I’m exercising and drinking. Now, we are in the process of complying some food food ideas for the purée stage. This is something I’m looking forward to after being on liquids going on 3 weeks now! Any recipe suggestions?
Down over 20lbs since i started the liquid diet to now! Woohoo!!!

Glad your surgery went well. Wishing you a speedy recovery.

If you like veggies, I thought this cauliflower soup was delicious. I made the "gluten free" version at the bottom to reduce the fat and flour. The recipe calls for leaving the veggies whole, but I blended it up after cooking and loved it.

Here’s an easy one:

Take a can of pinto beans, some taco seasoning, a few tablespoons of chicken stock, and some cheese and put it in a blender. Purée until smooth. Enjoy.

I ate this quite a bit after surgery and found it quite delicious.

How do you prepare it

i just roasted some thin sliced carrots w tiny bit of olive oil,salt,pepper,garlic,& onion powder til real soft.i chopped up sm after.i fried some 93./. lean grnd beef but u could do grnd turkey or chicken.i added about a Tb of worcheshire sce,Tb of tom paste,tsp low sodium soy sce,1/2 cup of red wine,1 cup of low sodium bf or chkn broth,some more garlic & onion powder,salt & pepper & simmered 15 mins,then added my carrots bk in along w 1 c of frozen peas thawed.then i poured into a sprayed glass pie plate or 8by 8 dish.then u can either do cauliflower mashed pots or since i could have real mashed pots but i didnt have time so i made some instant ones but i used low sodium chkn broth instead of water,added at least an extra 1/2c of pot flakes for more flavor,skim milk & some light margarine & i put a Tb of lite deans frnch onion dip but u dont have to do that or u could use lite sour crm or lowfat greek yogurt to make creamy & salt & pepper to taste.after i stirred that up i added in a scoop of protein powder,unflavored ,& an egg yoke,mixed up & spread over top & baked about 30 mins on 350 or til lightly golden & top w some parsley flakes.u can puree ur serving but i personally couldnt stomach anything but soup pureed,so i just mashed w my fork & it was the most satisfying.i also made a yummy ricotta bake & layered that & low sugar red sauce over soft steamed zucchini & squash.i made a lowfat,sugar free pumpkin custard.u could do a lowfat,lo carb cheeseburger pie ,an eggbake casserole,or spaghettii squash augratin or lite alfredo.i have roasted acorn squash halves & u can make sweet or savory.i could go on & on,lol some things may be too rich for u or cause heartburn,i was fine though.just depends on what u can have on ur plan.

Kimtrysrny wouldn't beef or vegetable stock work as well in your recipe??

curlyv,forgot that i also put about a 1/4 tsp each of dried thyme & rosemary in the mixture for shepherds pie recipe

There’s an organic soup you can actually buy that tastes pretty good. It was suggested by our nutritionist. Imagine is the brand. Very good. I added salt and pepper then had heartburn, lol. So I stay away from adding those. But check it out. It’s easy and quick

Certainly. Anything just to moisten it a bit.
