I'm 4 weeks out and need puree ideas recipes and suggestions please ..

Hi Marie, I am in the same stage. I eat organic baby food. Usually get the ones that are for 6-8mth olds.

Not only are they nutritionally good but they taste surprisingly good too. I only manage half a jar/pouch at any one sitting. Sometimes less.

I've had bolognaise, beef/carrot/potato & chicken/leek/potato. I warm them in the microwave and add a sprinkle of salt. They do not give me any unwanted side effects and my hunger is completely satisfied as it feels like I've just enjoyed a hot meal.

I've tried scrambled eggs , cooked fish and raw salmon but none of these sit very well for me.

My Dr defines puree as any soft food that can be chewed to a pureed consistency before swallowing.

Mashed potato & pumpkin with gravy. Cereal completely softened with milk, low fat yoghurt/pudding, cottage cheese, tinned tuna, nutritious Soups (ie chicken and veg - blended).

I'm 17 days post op.

Hope this helps

Creamed spinach and pastina was my savior!

Plain fat free Greek yogurt with Splenda and...unsweetened cocoa powder, any extract you like, lime juice or strawberries etc...

1 cup FF ricotta, 1/6 cup powdered milk, 1/3 c Water and 1 T. FF/SF pudding mix (vanilla and cheesecake are my favs.) Blend all. You can also add extract or cinnamon or nutmeg.

FF ricotta, season like you would for stuffed shells and heat it with a little sauce.

FF refried Beans heated with enchilada sauce and cheese

FF cream of...soup and tuna, blended.

Just some things that I have tried that I really enjoyed.
