Please someone help me with puree stage

[Cheree 2]

I am on the puree stage. I can NOT stomach pureed meat. This makes me so ill. I am so tired and weak, no energy I guess from lack of Protein. My Dr doesnt do Protein Shakes ( Kaiser ). I need ideas as to what to eat. My poor body needs something to make it feel better. I am 3 weeks post op on Wednesday. Im also at a stall I guess do to not eating well. I called my NUT and she recommended tofu which Ive never had and wouldnt know what to do with it. I hate cottage cheese and cant have Beans. Ive pureed fruit and had potato but its not making me feel good. Please someone give me some ideas.

How about Greek yogurt? Soft eggs? cheese? Anderson Split Pea Soup? Skim milk?

Did your doctor tell you specifically not to do Protein Shakes because of a medical condition or does he/she just not believe in them in general??? I think long term we need to try to get off Protein shakes, but at three weeks out (which is where I am now too), they are a lifesaver. There is no way I would get my full protein in without the protein shakes. However, I also am having eggs, cottage cheese, and tuna and chicken salad which I whip up in the food processor.

What do you put in your chicken salad?

What do you put in your chicken salad?

Just Mayonnaise and whatever spices I want.... and then I put two teaspoons of Pickle Juice to help puree it! Also, one time I put avocado in there too... I figured I used to like chicken breast sandwiches with avocado on them, so what's the difference? I think it came out good, but some people might not like it.
