Early out, I froze stuff in an ice cube tray, then popped out a cube or two and reheated in a microwave safe dish.

Did you cover the ice cube tray with plastic or pop them out and freezer bag them?

Muffin tins are perfect for puree because they hold about half a cup. You can line with muffin cups and peel off the paper after it freezes, then put the "cups" into ziploc bags. I have found that they thaw and heat in the microwave, 2 minutes if you want it hot, or 1 minute if you want it cold or room temp.

I shared several puree receipes in the Recipe Swap section.

I got all the recipes! Thanks! Does the paper stick to the food?

Nope but you have to be a bit careful when you take it off. I didn't use waxed paper muffin cups but you can get them, and that might help. I suspect it would be a mess to leave the paper on and thaw the food.< /p>

I froze in 2 oz condiment containers. They reheat in the microwave beautiful, but the lids curl up.

      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.
