Bufflehead 6,358 Posted November 5, 2013 According to my surgeon's plan, only if you puree it first. You may want to consult with your own surgeon's team though. 1 NtvTxn reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sonya139 95 Posted November 5, 2013 Yes you can purée anything that can go into a blender. What I think you really want to know is if you can just eat the meatloaf since it's tender and not purée. I never support not following your surgeons guidelines. 1 NtvTxn reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NtvTxn 1,262 Posted November 5, 2013 I'm on puréed foods.. Is it safe to eat meatloaf of chewed really good? I'd say no. What does your doctor say? Remember, you have a gut full of staples. You are swollen and healing. The first week I was on Clear liquids, week 2 & three, full liquids. Dr. D said "nothing that won't go through a straw" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JessicaAnn 564 Posted November 5, 2013 If you blend it first. The thought of purée foods used to make me gag, but if you purée and add some gravy it's yum! I wouldn't push it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fallingwhisper 187 Posted November 5, 2013 Meatloaf is definitely too heavy for pureed, but when you get to the soft stage you can (on my plan, at least.) instead of breadcrumb, use almond flour. It's even got a little bit of Protein Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
