For the puree sleevers



Recommended Posts

There aren't enough recipes for those of us still in the puréed phase. I thought I would share my favorite: Lentil Soup purée

1 cup of red lentils

4 cups of Water or ff chicken broth

2 stalks of celery (cut in pieces)

2 medium sized carrots ( cut in pieces)

1 Tomato

1 onion

5 gloves of minced garlic

Salt and pepper to taste

Combine all ingredients and cook for about 20-25 minutes in a pot big enough to hold all the ingredients. Scoop a cupful at a time and purée in your blender. If your in the purée stage, purée well. If you're on soft foods, leave slightly lumpy. Delicious! Enjoy!

I used these measurements to make it for my family and I ( 4 kids and hubby). I would say 10-12 servings since it lasted two days. However, for our size portions, at least a week so you might want to cut the proportions of the recipe in half.

Not sure of the nutritional values. Sorry.

Thanks. I would definitely halve the recipe because I love lentils, but if I had a lot of leftovers, the rest of my family would not be happy. (I could freeze stuff but I don't have a lot of freezer space at the moment.)

      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.
