Just Starting Puréed Food

[Njd1230 1]

How much should I eat at a time? Can I have lean ground beef puréed? Im scared for something to get stuck. Any advice?

If you are just starting purees, 2-3 oz of food is probably going to make you full. If you puree the ground beef in some kind of liquid (tomato sauce maybe?), then it should be okay to eat. I really liked refried Beans with some cheese in them during purees. I also pureed some Wendy's chili and some dinty moore beef stew to eat. A few teaspoons was more than enough of any of them.

I made my kids taco's the other day and I took about 4 oz of plain ground beef and mixed it with Unjury cheese sauce( 20 grams of protien) and it tasetd great just like a nacho Soup without the chip. I did not eat the whole 4 oz though.

Definately eat slowly and have 2-3oz. I'm still on that. I was rushing to class and had a tablespoon of pureed ground turkey in spinach Soup, swallowed and it felt really stuck in my chest- kinda painful. I froze and turned to the sink and threw it up. Lesson learned! Take your time, chew and take small portions.

When you puree foods do you just put them in the blender together? Or do you need a food processor or something. Im not a good cook so I dont know much about cooking.

Thanks guys. And I just put my food in my ninja or magic bullet. Just any food processor. I feel like I can eat way too easily. It's been a week post opp and I had a scrambled edd with cheese for Breakfast and 3oz of lean taco meat with some cheese for lunch. Had a couple no sugar added fudge pops. Had 2 Protein Shakes. And I feel fine. I could probably eat more but don't wanna push it. I hope this is ok.
