Puree Stage....Suggestions????



Recommended Posts

I'm starting the puree stage today and wanted to know what are some meals or snack that some of you had at this stage. Just want a few ideas that may help me out a little. Is this stage also call the "mushies"? I see that a lot but wasn't sure if that was this stage or the soft food stage. Any input is greatly appreciated!! :)

You can purée anything! I was so tired of the sweetness of the liquid phase that I put all kinds of stuff in the blender-especially wanted savory flavors. I puréed cheese ravioli with red sauce thinned out with chicken stock, turkey taco meat with refried Beans thinned out with salsa, and lots of other stuff. It doesn't look the greatest, but yummmmmmm!!!!!!!

Good luck! Remember its only a short time.

I pureed a lot of Soups. Healthy choice makes a clam chowder that is good. I would either put it in my magic bullet and puree the clams and potatoes, or just drain it all together. The texture didn't bother me because in my head I was eating Soup anyway. Also, make your own chicken salad with pureed chicken or tuna, pickles, non fat greek yogurt, a little mustard, S & P.

So I had to post this somewhere! I am still in mushies(pureed) stage. I made a fabulous buffalo chicken salad! So yummy!

Recipe:

1 can of chicken breast chunks, drained

1 wedge of Laughing Cow Light Blue cheese flavor

1 T of light Miracle Whip or Light mayo

Pepper to taste

1-2 T of Franks Red Hot Buffalo Wing Sauce (to taste)

Throw all ingredients into food processor and blend until smooth!

That's the thing, I think some refer to the puree stage as mushy stage. I think it's pretty much the same thing.

I have seen some people who do a purée before they do mushies. I never blended after full liquids.

I'm on the puréed stage too. This is day one for me. What's the average meal size for it? It says I should be eating 5-6 small meals a day, but how much should I be eating? Lol I'm thinking 1 cup but I'm not sure. Any suggestions?

Your doctor should have provided you with that info. If not you really should get. It from them probably it is in your paperwork somewhere . You need to know your doctors guidelines for every stage. We can tell you what we do but it might not be what your doctor requires. Everyone and every doctor seems to be different.

Yea, I understand it will be different, I was just asking as far as what everyone else experienced. It says the types of food I can begin eating, but not necessarily portion sizes. I wasn't sure if that was normal for this stage. Thanks though!

Again you should really call your doctor if not clear.i eat half cup portions but most people eat a cup and some eat more. Then there are a lot that just count calories.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
