I had chili on the puréed diet with no problem! Just put a few teaspoons in my bullet and it was so yummy!

I had some issues with pureed. I did tuna with lowfat mayo and onion powder and celery salt. I used the magic bullet and I thought it was moist enough and it wasn't. It was still to hard and it didn't puree well.

I tried canned chicken, again too dry.

I did a lot of Healthy Request Bean and Bacon. The best way to do this is blend the bean & bacon Soup with very little Water, then add your can of Water.< /p>

The best thing I had was rotisserie chicken. I didn't use the magic bullet though, I put it in the food processor with real celery (I made sure to cut the sides of it down so there was no strings, and I added real onion. It was almost like a thick dip consistency. It slid down easily and didn't hurt.

Some people don't have an issue with their esophagus into the tummy and some of us struggle. You won't know which you are until you get to that point.

I'm on soft foods now and I actually cooked three bone in chicken breasts today in the crock pot (it tasted like rotisserie chicken and I had about 1/2 ounce and decided it would be better as chicken salad and I shredded it and did it lightly in the food processor (not as fine as I did for the pureed stage - that I made mushy) and it's a whole lot of Protein, very little carbs and it's great for lunch, a snack or dinner.

Make sure your meat is moist and until you see how you do, make sure it's really pureed. I dreamed about the day I would get tuna and it was rough on me.

Below also is the Pureed List the doctor gave me, I retyped the list and I posted it in another section. I didn't do any of these but the Tuna & Canned Chicken and again, I didn't puree it enough so it was rough on me.

BTW I do not follow this diet suggestion and examples. I'm at 7 weeks and still at 425-475 calories a day and don't snack.

I kept my Protein up with shakes, and Isopure clear diluted half/half with crystal light. Then I made heaps of pureed low fat Soups (using stuff like LF cream and yoghurt instead of high fat stuff) like Thai broccoli and cauliflower, cream of mushroom, cream of Tomato, spiced pumpkin, split pea and ham. I also got into using the fage 0% yoghurt, good source of protein and can be made sweet or salty. Pureed avocado with lemon juice, garlic and ff mayo is good too!

Using my fitness pal helps to track everything and keep carbs as low as possible, I just started using it, and it's brilliant.
