Just started purée phase last Thursday. Some ideas that worked for me are:

Starkist light tuna in the pouch

Hard boiled egg

Tablespoon fat free mayo

Teaspoon yellow mustard

Purée in my Ninja

3 turkey meatballs

5 tablespoons skim ricotta

1/2 cup fat free turkey gravy

Purée in my Ninja

3 turkey meatballs

5 tablespoons skim ricotta

Small can Hunts no salt added Tomato sauce

Purée in my Ninja

1/2 can fat free refried Beans

1/2 cup fat free sour cream

Just mix up with a spoon

Progresso Hearty Black Bean Soup

1/2 cup fat free sour cream

Purée in my Ninja

All of these make more than 1 serving. I put the extras in small plastic containers to heat for later. Also, I heat in microwave after I purée. I find it works better. I also discovered PB2 powdered Peanut Butter to add to Protein Shakes or really anything if you like peanut butter. I also use Isopure unflavored Protein powder and I mix it with Sugar Free Chocolate pudding for extra protein. You can't even taste it. I bought both on Amazon. Finally, my greatest find was Isopure green tea clear Protein Drink that comes in individual bottles at GNC. It is the only protein drink that I can tolerate right now. I love it! Just bought a case at my local GNC yesterday. Well worth the price for me right now. It has 40 grams of protein in one 20 ounce bottle. Can finish one in a day. Great if you like tea. Drink it cold with ice. Got my Ninja blender at Target.

Hope this helps some of you. Purée is soooooo much better than full liquid phase. I actually feel somewhat normal again.

Thanks for the ideas, even though I won't be there until 12/31. At least I'll start the new year off with a good bite of something :)

Purée is so much better than liquids! I start soft solids on Thursday. I puréed vegetable lasagna tonight and it was great! Hang in there. It does get better.

I've been drinking the isopure green tea just to meet my protein requirements. It's tolerable, but it gives me dry mouth.

Thanks for recipes.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
