Best pureed foods



Recommended Posts

I want to start planning for next week. Going back to work Monday and back to reality. Would love some suggestions for puréed lunches/dinners. I also just purchased a mini chopper that I'm excited to use! :-)

You truly can puree anything. I blended Soup, eggs, and chili. I did not blend cottage cheese because it kind of sounded gross. Yogurt is a good staple too...greek. I returned to work at 3 weeks and was on pureed foods. I ate oatmeal for bfast and mostly Soups for lunch. Dinner...I just blended whatever we were having or had blended soup. I did do hummus a couple of times, as well as pintos & cheese (from taco bell) when we were out and about and needed to eat.

THANK YOU JamesGz! Great ideas! :) Deviled eggs.... yum! I am sure I'll only be able to eat one, but that sounds so much better than another sugar free popsicle! ;)

I blended just about everything I cooked my husband. Some good, some not so good. I did try to stay away from high fat foods. I cooked with the 98% ff Soups. I tried blended smoked chicken with BBQ Sauce. It didn't make me sick, but set on my stomach like a brick. Blended lean meatloaf with a little added ketchup(no high fructose corn syrup) was pretty tasty. I stuck with lf cottage cheese for Breakfast because it has 14 gm of Protein. Taco bell refried Beans and cheese, yummy, they even sell them at the store by the can.

pureed cottage chesse isn't "gross". It has the consistencty of Greek yogurt.

For breakfast, I did pureed cottage cheese with a little vanilla extract, cinnamon, and artificial sweetner. It tastes like a cinnamon roll with cream cheese frosting!

Another treat: 16 ounces low-fat cottage cheese pureed with 1 small envelope of sugar free Jello powder - makes four 4 oz. servings. strawberry is my favorite, but any flavor will work.

Similar to Jon's recipe above. Favorite recipe from my nut:

High Protein pudding:

16 oz. cottage cheese

1 package sf pudding mix

1 scoop Protein powder

4 tbsp ff milk

8 oz. ff or sf cool whip

Mix first 4 ingredients in food processor until smooth, then fold in whipped topping. Chill and serve. 20-25 grams of Protein per 1/2 c serving.

I am starting the puree stage tomorrow also thank goodness. I started getting bored with Soups today and tried scrambled egg for Breakfast with no issues. I also had some low fat cottage cheese for lunch. Keep the puree ideas coming please.

Do you use unflavored Protein in that recipe? It sounds great!

      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.
