Puree and Mushy Foods

[Deets 0]

Hi all,

i start the puree stage of my of post op diet next week (2 weeks post op).

Im struggling to understand the difference between puree and mushy though?? Can anyone give me a definition?

Ive got a few ideas for the puree which is basically anything as long as it is blended! If you have any recipes, id love to hear them. Ive already blended some chicken casserole and chilli con carne.

In terms of the mushy stage, im not sure what i should be looking at? Everyone keeps saying "mashed potato", but there must be more to the mushy phase than mashed potato!! Any recipes would be welcomed!

thanks y'all x

Don't get me wrong but I think mushy foods are like tuna, canned chicken, salmon, things that can be pulled apart easy with a fork. I think puree foods are like Soup you put in a food possessor, or food that has got to the point of liquid.. To be honest there is not a whole lot of difference other that you have to chew the mushies up a little.. I know the definition of the two are not that clear so I am going on the definition I'm telling you..Maybe some more veteren sleevers may have a better definition than I do

thanks Fluffy, it gives me a better understanding. Basically i can have the same thing for purre AND mushy. So could have chicken stew but would need to blitz it for the puree part, or mush it up (with lumps) for the mushy part!
