I am looking for a few simple puréed recipes. I just made the Shelly’s Ricotta bake and found a puréed chicken salad. I think I will probably be okay with eggs ricotta cheese and the two recipes. However, it is always nice to have options. Any suggestions are appreciated. I am attaching the recipes I previously discussed.

I've done a large chicken chili from taco time. 1/2 cup and I have done fine on it. 2 weeks post-op. Makes 3 meals 4.00

Good! I've lost 30 lbs with my 1 week pre-op diet. I'm on puree and life is so much better. My family had steak sandwhichs and I had just some of the meat and vegetables. I chewed and chewed instead of blending. It stayed down. Woo hoo! Measuring 1/2 cup of food.

Go Gaby! That is truly impressive. I go for my two week follow up on Wednesday! We shall see (fingers crossed)

I'm allowed pureed food. How about you?

Today is The first day that I am allowed pureed food.

I'm making green tacos tomorrow. My son-in-law is Mexican, so they eat a lot of the food. Not sure if you like green sauce? It's made with chicken.

Also, chili is a good high protein choice and it blends good.

You boil like 2lbs of chicken, shred it. In a few pan you saute some onions and a brick of cream cheese and half a can of the green sauce. It will all melt up, then you add shredded chicken. Season. We roll up in tacos and put cojita cheese on top and bake. The recipe may be on the back of the can. We've been making it for a number of years. I will only blend some of the filing. It's very creamy. You can use lowfat cream cheese.

Thanks, I think I will try it.

You are still eating very little. So have a little fun for a meal or two.

1. Protein powder
2. Any microwave meal you like

Blend it.

This is delicious https://www.bariatricfoodie.com/mexican-egg-casserole/ I'm eating it right now for breakfast and it's just as tasty for lunch and dinner.

Thank you, that looks really good!
