Pureed Foods Phase Starts Tomorrow. Need Protein Suggestions?

[whaletail0731 2]

I got the " anything in a blender" point, but just want some meat if I can to eat. Friends told me about low fat healthy style chicken salad and tuna and egg salad. Any other suggestions. Post op day 7.

During my pureed stage, I would cook chicken thighs and breasts up in the crock pot until they were very tender. Sometimes, I would save the broth from the pot to puree the chicken with. Other times, I would puree the chicken (minus the bones and skin of course) with spaghetti sauce (I used some delicious sauce that I'd made at home). I would layer the spaghetti sauce pureed chicken with fat free cottage cheese in a very small bowl to take with me for lunch. It was somewhat reminiscent of lasagna.

I bought my pureed food from a company called Blossom Foods. They are frozen 5 oz containers of meals like pot roast, chicken enchilada, chili, cheese ravioli, etc. Depending on the actual food they range between 15 - 20 g of Protein and 150 - 200 calories. It worked out really well for me cause I could take it anywhere with me and pop it in the microwave for 3 min and eat. I like it so much that I still eat them even though I am on solids now. They help me control my calories and portion size. www.blossomfoods.com

When I was in this stage I made a hummus consistency tuna. I had a bit of egg, relish (no sugar or fat in this surprisngly) and onion with low fat miracle whip (i'm not a mayo person) .. It was the best food I'd ever had especially coming from just liquids.< /p>

Thanks a lot for the tip about Blossom Foods. They sound great! I start on the puréed phase Wednesday so I just ordered a bunch to get me through.

You can do 1/2 cup of fat free refried Beans and chopped onion blended and then put a little shredded cheese on top of it and microwave it. Delicious!

Add a bit of roasted green chili before it hits the blender.
