What Tastes Good Pureed?



Recommended Posts

I'm getting sleeved on the 19th. Thinking past the post op liquid diet to the puree diet. Any recommendations on pureed Proteins?

One of the best tasting purees I had was the inside of a soft taco from Taco Bell (minus almost all the lettuce). You can add more Protein by adding in some refried Beans as well.

My favorite was roast beef cooked in a crock pot and then pureed with the au jus. -Yum!

Refried Beans are great, and you can sneak little bits of extra Protein in there with some ground beef or some cheese. Even pureed this still tastes yummy.

Egg Face's Ricotta Bake does not require blending because it's already really soft, and it is DELICIOUS! My son and I still eat that sometimes. He puts his over Pasta, but it tastes just like lasagna and has no Pasta in it.

Wendy's chili is good pureed. If it's too spicy for you, you can always add a little Tomato sauce to it. You won't be able to eat/drink a whole small one, anyway.

Bean with bacon Soup was pretty good to me, and didn't really require a puree. I just mushed it up with my spoon, and I only ate a couple of ounces out of the whole can. You can thin it more with broth or Water and it hides the taste of unflavored Protein powder pretty well if you want a big Protein wallop.

I also pureed up some dinty moore beef stew..and, I'll be honest, I ate a couple of chunks of that meat without pureeing it, but I chewed REALLY well. One small can lasted me several days.

I used broth to puree up a little of the meat we had for dinner a couple of nights, although that tasted a little like baby food to me.

I've heard of people pureeing all kinds of things that I never would have thought about, from slices of pizza to turkey and dressing.

I bought a magic bullet specifically to use for post op blending and it worked out really well. We still use it sometiimes to make Protein shakes, so it was definitely money well spent, IMO.

Good luck!! :)

hi fellow sleevers

i'm pre-op DOS 12/15/11 - i have to admit the thought of pureed food makes me gag a little. I saw my NUT yesterday, she's the best, and she said not to think about the different food stages yet - After my 1rst 10 days of WLS - and drinking, sip, sip, sip - we'll be meeting again and talk about the next stage.

isn't cottage cheese, SF pudding, yogurt and Jello, SF popsicles and other stuff like that Kosher as mushy food?

again, the thought of putting real food in a blender....well i think i'd rather get my tooth pulled but if i have to eat more mushy stuff, well for this weight loss, i'll do anything.

I feel like I am planning for back when my kids first started eating..lol

Scrambled eggs, ricotta and refried Beans are awesome.

Black Beans, some meat and veggies is really good.

ricotta Tomato sauce and cheese is like the inside of a manicotti.

chicken salad is awesome so is tuna.

Also I don't put it on a blender I either cook to mush consistency and mash with a fork or use a food processor. Its exactly like making food for when your kids start eating solids..lol

My favorite puree was my homemade beef stew put through the food processor. Plenty of Protein with all the veggies.

      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.
