ShannaS 63 Posted February 21, 2013 Hello, I am just starting to think about the fact that I need a food processor in order to puree my food during the "mushie" phase. Does anyone have any recommendations for a brand or model of a food processor that would be great for doing this? I don't need a big one since I will only be pureeing portions for myself. Any feedback would be appreciated! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hely88 883 Posted February 21, 2013 I absolutely love my vita-mix but very very expensive. I have heard people use the bullet and they sell that at bed bath and beyond. If you don't have coupon you can print one onloine. Also if you don't like it they will take back if you have receipt. Also I have never puréed my foods. There are plenty of other options. 2 ☠carolinagirl☠ and ShannaS reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TruDreadz 2 Posted February 21, 2013 The bullet is perfect and inexpensive.. I also did not puree my foods however I use my bullet daily for my shakes and the fruit I add to them.. it comes with cups that you can mix in and take on the go.. perfect for my use.. but there are so many options out there that I am sure had I purchased a different one I would be saying the same things about it.. 1 ShannaS reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you for the recommendation! If you didn't puree, what were you eating during the mushie phase of recovery? Just curious. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TruDreadz 2 Posted February 21, 2013 Thank you for the recommendation! If you didn't puree' date=' what were you eating during the mushie phase of recovery? Just curious.[/quote'] My dietician said anything that you can mash with a fork.. so I had a lot of tuna fish.. egg salad.. mash potatoes.. baked fish as long as I could mash it.. and my favorite "grits".. From reading others post my doctors office kind of combined the puree and soft phase into one.. also those foods mentioned had to be really soft and moist..

hely88 883 Posted February 21, 2013 Well said Tru! I also ate a lot of Beans. You can have cottage cheese, humus, soft cheeses like laughing cal. Some mix it with tuna, eggs, canned chicken, re fried beans, . This is when you start to get creative. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jewelsm1127 351 Posted February 21, 2013 I also have the magic bullet black edition. Got it got my bday pre surgery because I knew I was going to need it. LOVE IT! And it's very portable and small and even though I'm on solids if I need to blend any batter or anything I still use it. I also pulse it a couple of times for a quick chop.
