Pureed Diet

[UTGal99 327]

Everybody only gets to eat an ounce of pureed food an hour right?

My surgeon says no more than 4 ozs. but take it what you can tolerate over a 30-45 minute period.

so 3-4 oz. evry 45 minutes if you can tolerate it? Can you give me an example of your day

(eating) with ounces and times please?

3-4 oz at mealtimes only take your time eating try to stretch it out to 20-30 min for the meal then wait 30 minutes before you drink.

Remember getting your Protein and fluids are the most important thing...I would have Decaf tea first thing and take my PPI then wait 30 min an have Breakfast, either hot Cereal or yogurt or soft scrambled eggs....then wait 30 min then get have a sugar free drink and daily Vitamins...wait about an hour then a Protein shake...then at lunch have your pureed meal...then 30 min after a big glass of iced tea or crystal light or Water....maybe a late afternoon snack a SF pudding, yogurt, or Jello, or a Protein Shake. dinner a pureed entree, then 30 min later have a SF drink, in the evening maybe Jello or yogurt, SF popsicle or SF hot cocoa....that's what I did and I got my fluids and Protein and felt great. Most meals at this stage are about 1/2 cup drinks were about 8-16 oz over a hour or so.

Good luck!

Can a can of say Progressive chicken noodle or chicken and rice Soup be put in a blender for the puréed stage. I was wondering about the ingredients like rice or Pasta in the Soup. Since they are really not allowed would I take them out before I purée the soup? The it would be just the meat veggies and broth to purée.
