I start puree on Monday and I'm actually excited LOL After two weeks on liquids, "real food" is sounding so good...even if it is mush :P

Anyone find any tricks to it? Any good "recipes"?

I personally am not a fan of puréed meat so I made tuna salad with light mayo, puréed onion and sweet pickles, and a splash of hot sauce bu however you like tuna salad should work fine. Just blend the ingredients so they are broken up.

If you like retried Beans, then warm them with shredded cheese and taco sauce or hot sauce.

There's a ricotta ame recipe on here too.

And egg beater omelettes are good with puréed veggies which I lie to then sautée so they aren't watery and some shredded cheese.< /p>

I am on Day 2 of mushies after 2 weeks of "full liquids" - and OMG - Taco Bell's Pintos n' cheese tasted like gold to me (it was the first thing I ate). Right now, I just sat down with a bowl of Hormel Turkey Chili w/beans - added 1 serving of cheddar cheese, blended it into a puree and heated it up! Just got home from grocery shopping and stocked up on Soups (other than "cream of" because I'm sick of them), tuna, greek yogurt etc. - anything that can be blended into yumminess in my "Magic Bullet!"

Oh that sounds good! :) So I don't have to puree tuna? I can just make it how I normally do?

I get to start mushy foods on Tuesday! I'm soo looking forward to it. I'm not sure what your Dr allows, mine is pretty easy. They said any soft food, as long as its chewed well. They don't make us puree anything, just chew it up well, and make sure its moist, and no hard foods. I have a list ready for what I will try next week. I will start with the softer items, and progress as my tummy allows. So far I have egg salad, devilved eggs, scrambled eggs, tuna salad, chicken salad, crab salad, refried Beans, mashed potatos, mashed sweet potatos, baked beans, cottage cheese, chili, canned fruit, fish, shrimp, scallops, canned veggies, egg drop Soup, turkey meatballs.

Yeah I didn't purée mine but if you like onions or something chunky, then purée tat. The tuna I mashed with the fork well. Also, remember to eat slow and chew well

I liked several of the Campbell's slow kettle cooked Soups. I pureed them -- they tasted great!

No purée here. Doc and NUT said you're more likely to get more food in because it takes the air out with purée foods, and besides who likes mush, so they skip that phase.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
