Puree Stage Help

[kisha28 12]

Need ideals of various things to eat at puree stage. I will be on it for a month and I will get tired of the Same ol thing.

[Threetimesacharm 1,400]

cottage cheese

any canned meats, tuna, chicken, turkey

pureed Soups

ricotta cheese

eggs

pureed chili

I eat a lot of creamy soups with melted cheese for the Protein, yummy

I still have a shake though for Breakfast to make sure I can get in all the protein I need

I am 32 days out

[4ALongerLife 329]

pumpkin cheesecake (filling only)

1 box instant sugar free Jello cheesecake

1 scoop procel unflavored Protein Powder (optional)

1/2 can Libby pumpkin purée

1/2 container free cool whip

2 c. Fat free milk (I use braums milk as it is higher in protein)

Pumpkin pie spice, to taste

Mix cheesecake packet with 2 c of milk as package indicates. If you use Protein powder, add it in with the cheesecake powder prior to adding your milk. Fold in 1/2 of the can of pumpkin purée and 1/2 of the container of free cool whip. Add pumpkin pie spice to taste (I add about 1 tsp i guess). Stir into the pudding and refrigerate. Serve cold, makes about 6 - 1/2 c servings (& I THINK it is about 75-100 calories per serving, dependent on brands used for ingredients but input it into my fitness pal or something like that to know for sure ok? i can't remember if I did it for 1/2 c or 1/4 c servings now grrr).

Other ideas: egg salad, cottage cheese, light and fit greek yogurts, my favorite cream Soup is cream of chicken with mushrooms (walmart), RTD oh yeah shakes (vanilla cream and strawberries and cream are my current favs).

GOOD LUCK!

I'm making this tonight from www.theworldaccordingtoeggface.com. I'll let you know how it tastes!

Shelly's Baked Ricotta

8 oz of Ricotta cheese

1/2 cup grated Parmesan

1 large Egg, beaten

1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning

salt & pepper to taste

1/2 cup Marinara Sauce

1/2 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese

Mix ricotta cheese, parmesan, beaten egg, seasonings together and place in a oven proof dish. Pour marinara on top and top with mozzarella cheese. Bake it in the oven @ 450 for about 20-25 minutes (best) or nuke it till hot and bubbly. I usually made it first in the oven and heated the leftovers in the microwave.

I hated the puree stage and counted the minutes until I could move on! Everything disgusted me, and so I mainly had shakes, eggs, yogurt and applesauce.

DELISH!!! Kind of turned out like manicotti filling. It was super yummy and had lots of Protein too. And three thumbs up from the rest of the family as well!

Ok maybe I can try soon. Any puree,desserts?

The baked ricotta is good (from eggface's site)! And don't forget - if you are craving Tomato sauce - that la madeleine has reduced fat tomato basil Soup. (I've been on a liquid diet since 9/3 as I am nursing a leak ... it was a leak from my original surgery in March that in the 7 months out that I am STILL hasn't closed, whimpers.) So yeah I'm here looking for new ideas and if you need help or anything, always feel free to ping me! Wishing you all the best of luck in your WLS journies! xx
