i need help with the puree stage!!!

[emmas mom 4]

Hi guys! I am on my puree stage and I got all the staples I have been reading about. Like sour cream, greek yogurt, cream cheese, baby bell cheese, etc. I puree'd chili yesterday. I had the bacon potato Soup puree'd, not a big fan! What about meat? If i made tuna salad, do i have to puree it? What else can I eat that will help my puree stage go better? I dont eat sushi or tofu or any of that! Any avise would be 100% appreciated! I am getting so frustrate!

Thanks guys!!!

I make egg salad and thats pretty good. I didn't puree my tuna salad the tuna seems to break up really well if you mix it up well with mayo or miracle whip. Just take really small bites. Also try the Ricotta bake! I made it and ate if for days. I used super yummy Giadia DeLaurentis sauce from Target so it was extra delicious and satisfying!!

I am making a really tender roast tomorrow and I will see how that goes. I think that would tatse fine blended up a little???

Oh and don't forget refried Beans with smooth taco sauce, sour cream and melted cheese! very tasty.

Shelly's Baked Ricotta

8 oz of Ricotta cheese

1/2 cup grated Parmesan

1 large Egg, beaten

1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning

salt & pepper to taste

1/2 cup Marinara Sauce

1/2 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese

Mix ricotta cheese, parmesan, beaten egg, seasonings together and place in a oven proof dish. Pour marinara on top and top with mozzarella cheese. Bake it in the oven @ 450 for about 20-25 minutes (best) or nuke it till hot and bubbly. I usually made it first in the oven and heated the leftovers in the microwave.

I don't start purees for a couple weeks but my nutritionist said if I'm using canned chicken or tuna, I don't have to puree the meat, just chew it really good. For regular chicken or turkey she wants me to either puree it or chop the heck out of it and mix with something moist. I plan on just doing chicken and tuna salad, she said I could use dill relish in it. My meal plan allows refried Beans in the first month so tonight I'm having 1 oz of refried beans with a dab of shredded cheese, a bit of sour cream and some taco bell mild sauce. It's delicious! I am also having a mini babybel cheese. So this dinner is about 7.5 grams of Protein. I'm trying to eat cheese at every meal so I can get at least 20 grams of protein from food - that way I only have to have 2 Protein Drinks instead of 3!

Retried Beans taste great but I couldn't handle them early out. My favorite thing to eat was mashed potatoes and gravy with the Unjury Unflavored Protein Powder mixed in. I use instant potatoes too! Also, I can handle a soft scrambled egg with maybe an ounce or less of finely shredded cheese.< /p>

indy u only been sleeved two days be 4 me and your eating re fried Beans and cheese yum i dnt i think my doc wants me to try beans til day 17 because i think he wants me to eat something differnt for me every day. im on pureed and feel so much better and fuller but i really don't see much of food choice on my list it doesn't even say mayo hmm mayb when i see the doc he will help me understand better

Yeah, my food plan is a little unusual because I was allowed to start refried Beans, cottage cheese and soft lowfat cheese on day 4 . . . but I can't start solids for 2 months. Definitely talk to your nutritionist!

I was sleeved on July 18th and when I was on "muchies" my doctor told me I could eat chicken salad and tuna salad without being pureed. I also had refried Beans and hummus. Egg salad was also a good thing too. Now, I can eat almost anything and I still eat the things above. If you have any questions though, check with your doc.
