Puree protein ideas anyone?



Recommended Posts

Hi all I'm 3 weeks post up and have lost 20 pounds through drinking shakes . As soon as I hit purée stage I stalled. I'm eating eggs for Breakfast a shake for lunch & I purée what ever my family is eating for diner for myself.usually rice and a casserole or ill have a Soup.< /p>

I know I'm not eating enough Protein, any suggestions on puréed protein?

Also I'm walking 20 minutes a day .

My stats are

Pre surgery 246

Post surgery 224

I have also lost 6 inches.

I think my loss so far has been good, but no it could be better if I eat more protein.

Thanks

Simone

Stalls are normal, especially at the 3 week mark. Almost everyone has a stall at 3 weeks. You can research 3 week stall and come up with tons of threads :) I feel you are doing am excellent job! Keep up the good work and that stall will end soon. You should be careful with carbs, though. They can cause a stall. GNC sells Protein pudding that tastes pretty good or get unflavored Unjury Protein Powder and add to anything you puree.

Mix a scoop of Protein Powder with a container of Jello pudding. Yummy.

I stalled at 3 weeks... don't worry about that. As for pureed protein...

Greek Yogurt! - If you try a brand and don't like it, try another. I love Chobani and Oikos but can't stand a few others.

PB2 - YUM Peanut Butter enjoyment without the fat

Campbell's chunky split pea Soup pureed (really is delicious pureed) and add Protein powder

Google ricotta bake - heard it's delicious but still haven't tried it

Protein pudding - I make a box of sugar-free pudding with skim milk and a scoop or two of protein powder

tuna with fat free mayo (if you're allowed) - I know a lot of people are allowed this on purees so check

Egg salad - chop egg whites really small, use fat free mayo and mustard

I'll post again if I think of more but those are right off the top of my head :) .

Good luck!

Fage 0 with strawberry unjury. It's good. I made eggplant Parmesan on purée stage. Not a lot of Protein though. Also used the unflavored Syntrax mix. Now I Mix it in a latte in the AM.

At the beginning, I used the Yes whey Protein Shots to get my 60 grams minimum. U have to get them online though. The New Whey ones you find in the store are a bad source and they are really gross.

Egg white powder is fairly tasteless and can be added to most things (not too hot though)

Fat free Greek yogurt sweetened with Splenda and vanilla or unsweetened cocoa powder or lime/lemon juice other extracts, etc....

Fat free ricotta with a little fat free/sugar free instant pudding powder.

Fat free ricotta seasoned as you would for stuffed shells, a little mozzarella and low carb sauce.

White meat turkey and fat free gravy

Egg beaters (can also be eaten raw in shakes, puddings as it is pasteurized)

sugar free hot chocolate made with Skim Plus (11gms/cup)

fat free cream Soups with tuna or turkey, even baby food meat.< /p>

hormel turkey chili, no Beans.

I was told to avoid Pasta, potatoes, rice and starchy vegetables, till I reach goal.

All other vegetables/fruit until I am reaching my Protein totals.

At 14 months out, I still eat no more than an occasional bite of whole grain bread, fruits/veg., Pasta, potatoes and rice. Actually, the carb cravings (if you have any) go away, when you stop eating those things. My nut says that as long as I take a multi-Vitamin each morning/night, it won't hurt to not eat produce, for now.

I know at puree stage I enjoyed chili, making sure I had a good amount of lean ground turkey in it. Add plain greek yogurt to everything - it has a TON of Protein and it tastes kinda like sour cream or tasteless when you mix it into things.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
