help stage 3 pureed diet..need tips/advice

[huligoo 75]

My Dr. just gave me the green light yesterday for the pureed stage of food. Im really nervous about this stage. I have eat egg drop Soup and yogurt just fine with no problems. I had a scrambled egg this morning and I could only eat half of it. I did get full from the scrambled egg.

I guess since diabetics have to watch their carb intake more closely, I thought I would ask you guys.

I have my mini food processor ready for me to get to pureeing up some good stuff!

What did you make during your pureed stage of eating?

Thanks guys

Lots of Soup. I tried chili but that was not good pureed very gritty.

Soups have Pasta in them! Well most soups....

I was pre-diabetic at first, and my doctor wasnt concerned with me watching my carbs or anything, he just wanted me to eat what I could tolerate and during the purreed stage I ate refried Beans, eggs, grits, and cream of wheat

I won't get to purees for 2 more weeks (I just started on full liquids yesterday), but I'm planning already. I miss vegetables right now, so I want to do veg purees like baked sweet potato, carrot, cauliflower "mashed potatoes", maybe butternut squash. My doc isn't worried about carbs from vegetables except for white potatoes and corn. I plan to mix in unflavored Protein Powder with most of them, plus butter or herbs or whatever seasonings hit me. If I keep the herbs whole while cooking, it's easier to fish them out later. I used to make a pea pesto from Giada de Laurentiis that I loved & I think would work if I thinned it a little & added some Protein powder. I also thought of unsweetened pumpkin puree with vanilla protein powder & pumpkin pie spice. And chicken or tuna salad ingredients, pureed smooth, although I would miss the crackers. I guess I should stop now, haha.
