Pureed foods. Yuck!!

Hello everyone. I am post-op, had my first doctor's visit one month ago and scheduled for my second on 04/19. I am doing my best to read all of the literature provided to me as well as what I can find online. I am struggling with the thought of pureeing food. I just don't think I could bring myself to consume meat, vegetables or eggs that have been pureed. It sounds disgusting! Is this something that is a MUST or can we supplement with protein drinks? All input is appreciated. :0)

    My program skipped pureed foods and went directly to soft proteins with the instructions to chew thoroughly. But your best bet for purees is blended soups. You can make a very flavorful soup and puree

  • Yogurt, cottage cheese and cream soups (as others have suggested) are all good at the pureed food stage, too!

Oatmeal, cream of wheat, or grits made thin. For bonus points add in a scoop of protein powder
