[tbtroy78 0]

Hey guys I am introducing pureed foods to my menu 18 days out from surgery and one thing I did tonight tasted good is the white meat from a rotisery chicken I put in my lil imation magic bullet with some texas pete hot sauce and blue cheese dressing I filled four lil condiment cups the things I usually used for Jello shooters as my meal guidlines

Funny what we're willing to eat on puree! The hot sauce would have killed my tummy at that point. I'm super glad you found something that hit the spot.

It's amazing how good those "real" foods taste on purees - isn't it?

My favorites were was mac-n-cheese (pureed with extra milk) and chili. I froze them in ice cube trays & would put them in the microwave for 30 seconds for my "meals".

Glad to hear things are going well for you in this stage.

That's a good idea for puree.

Mini, the ice cube trick...very clever.

Wish I could take credit for it. It was an idea my nut gave me. Really helped out those first few weeks.

While I don't measure with the ice cube trays anymore, I do freeze Protein in 2.5 ounce quantities for lunch - roast beef, flank steak, chili, etc. Really helps make packing lunch easy and quick - not to mention keeping my Water bottle cold as it defrost in my lunch bag. (Of course, I still get teased for the small containers I pop in the microwave at work. :bored0:)

I never thought that I would consider my icemaker, inadequate. LOL I am planning on picking up some ice trays today! :bored0:

definitely going to lock this little gem away for after surgery. Hotwings sounds amazing!! I LOVE SPICY FOOD! hehe I am really glad to see it may still be possible after surgery. That was one of my fears. hehe the spice is the life.

How soon is it generally ok to eat hot wings and other spicy foods? I usually get my "hot wings" mild, so I should be ok at 5 weeks out, right? I would like an occasional jalepeno as a garnish.

this is a cool idea-- my boyfriend will love the unpureed version. I'm a little scared of this stage... is it a general rule of thumb that you can puree just about anything? more ideas would be excellent!
