Purée sounds gross in general

I've actually been experimenting. It's amazing what can blend/puree up nicely! Back to baby food!

Just got back from my nutrition visit and someone in class asked about baby food! Have y'all heard of anyone eating that?

I do have some ideas. I've already tried several of my favorite Soups pureed. You're right about watching the high-calorie ingredients. I've liked all the soups that I've experimented with. I think that's a good rule for experimentation--to try low-fat, low carb foods that you'd normally eat, pureed at high speed in your blender. I think this would also be the best for eating with the family too. You just puree for yourself what everyone else is eating, as long as it's low fat and low carb. And as for blenders, I know you can spend almost any amount on a blender. But my favorite is just a glass jar Oster brand you can get at almost any store. Here comes pureed turkey and mashed potatoes and gravy! (I haven't tried that yet. But you get the idea!) BRING ON THE BABY FOOD!!!

Found out this afternoon my insurance approved my surgery date. Countdown for Dec 2 begins today!!!!

[u-no-it 28]

As far as the last supper idea' date=' our NUT said Clear Liquids only the day before. And if there is any solid food in the bowel at all it can be dangerous & surgery will be called off. Soooo, I'd suggest doing the last supper two days before or even the night before you start your preop diet.[/quote']

I am having the last supper three days before I begin the 2 weeks Protein diet. Think I will be okay. Thank you though.
