Best pureed foods



Recommended Posts

If you can handle eggs then maybe you can make deviled eggs, tuna fish, or egg salad. I buy frozen Italian meatballs and bake in marinara sauce and top it with Italian cheese. I eat cheese sticks for a snack. Chili topped with cheese or Wendy's chili. Baked sweet potatoes or refrained Beans topped with cheese.

Day 9, and I'm loving them tacos!



I cooked Beans with chicken and taco seasoning. 2 oz pureed plus 2 oz shredded cheese totals to a meal of 13grams of protein!

Zucchini, Tomato and Onion Soup: This is delicious and low-fat! I'm also in the pureed stage, and this Soup got me through this first week. I have discovered that baking everything first adds a richness and depth that most other methods of cooking (before pureeing) don't offer.

2 zucchini, sliced

1 tomato, sliced

1 onion, sliced

1 small jar basil pesto

1 C non-fat cottage cheese

1/4 C parmesan cheese

Grease a 9x13 pan. Layer the zucchini, tomato and onion. Combine the pesto & cottage cheese and pour onto veggies. Sprinkle parmesan on top. Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes. Dump all into the Vitamix or blender and puree. Enjoy!

Right after I was allow puréed I went away for my anniversary. I packed some food, but, figured I would eat a lot fish. I spoke to my NUT. We decided to stay with fish, chicken and eggs. Break everything up really well then take small bites and chew. I was able to eat about 4 teaspoons of food. One night I ordered chicken pad Thai plain I had 2 noodles, 3 small bites of chicken and 3 bites of egg. Done! The next night I had a small plate of salmon I smashed the salmon with my fork and put extra sauce on it. I took 5 small bites and stopped as soon as I felt slight pressure in chest a sign my NUT said means your full. I felt full for about 4 hours too. I did notice I salivated more afterwards... What's that about?

When people say they eat chili are they pureeing it? Like ground turkey, Beans, etc cook like normal then just puree it?

That's what I did yesterday - pureed a can of white chicken chili. Still pretty lumpy otherwise, but tasted just the same :)

After last night's lime chicken, I wanted something different. Tonight was beef cubes cooked down in the crock pot with a packet of onion Soup mix and plenty of Water, then blended. Between what I have in the freezer now and the ingredients for ricotta bake and refried Beans, I think the rest of the puree time is pretty much covered for me. Everything is frozen in 1 ounce increments in foil wrapped ice cube trays.

Love the hummus idea but to eat it straight? I am on puree foods for three weeks, and getting tired of Soup. I love Ricotta cheese, little cinnamon and a pkg of splenda just YUMMMY!

I had chicken salad in the fridge for the hubby. It had pecans raisins and some celery. I pureed the crap out of it. And yummm! I also made some mashed califlower... you can puree just about anything... eat all in moderation

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 have been making sugar free, fat free Jello chocolate pudding with 8 oz, chocolate premier shake 60grams protein and one cup of cold ff milk, it is very good. I am going to try sugar free f2f vanilla pudding with French vanilla premier shake and 8 oz f2f milk.

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.


Sounds like something I'd like to try one I get to puréed

      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.
