I am going to be starting my pureed phase on Tuesday. Just interested in what people have been eating while on pureed phase? My MD has not given me an specifics on foods. Would mashed potatoes be considered pureed or soft food or are they something I should avoid all together? Any suggestions will be appreciated!!

HI I TO AM ON STAGE TWO DIET....I EAT EGGS WITH MELTED CHEESE...MASHED POTS...REFRIED BEANS AND CHEESE...BAKED POTS WITH NO SKIN(THOSE ARE MY FAV)...SF PUDDING....THE KEY THING IS TO MAKE SURE U CHEW IT REALLY WELL....IF U FEEL A CHUNK IN IT DONT EAT IT....THATS THE RULE I GO BY AT THIS POINT...I MOVE TO STAGE 3 NEXT FRIDAY....HOPE THIS GIVES U A SMALL IDEA

Here is the list my nutritionist gave me. I know that it does seem to vary between clinic to clinic, but it should get you started!

yogurt

cream Soups

soups, blenderized

tuna salad, blenderized

soft eggs

egg salad

cottage cheese

chicken with gravy, blenderized

soft fruits, blenderized - not berries w/seeds

soft veggies, blenderized

refried Beans, blenderized

ricotta cheese

Everything should be smooth, no lumps. Hope this helps!

I started my pureed diet last Thursday and my blender is my best friend

Theoretically you can eat the baby food out of jars but the taste is actually pretty boring. It needs seasoning.

The pureed baby fruits are easy on the stomach and unsweetened. And you can get them organic for a good price. Cream of wheat goes well with them.

Today I made home made chicken Soup and put some meat with a little broth in my blender. It looks weird but it actually tastes good. I had some pureed broccoli and pureed potatoes with it. Yeah it looks funny on the plate but the taste is the same.

My family has the same food as I do, just they can use the forks and knifes.

Legumes are a good source of Protein but they can give you gas.

The doctor said the food has to have the consistency of apple sauce.

Get creative!

I just started the pureed stage and my doctor said anything I can put in a blender.Sometimes you may have to add a little liquid in order to puree it.
