I'm 13 days out... Purée help!

[krysten.warren 32]

And I'm on "purée"I'm worried I'm not doing this right. Saw my dr yesterday and he moved me up to purée but the purée on google doesn't seem much like puréed food. Example- scrambled egg white. String cheese. Flakey fish... Help??

Puréed for me was creamy Soups, sf Jello, cottage cheese, ricotta cheese, sf fudge pops, Italian ice sf, mashed potatoes. That type of stuff.

Every doctor is different, but mine listed puréed foods as liquids that can pour out of a bowl. Some examples are strained or puréed Soups, applesauce, blenderized soft or canned fruit, yogurt without fruit pieces (they recommended Yoplait light). Hope this helps!

Purée for me ..if it pours..it is purée.. If it plops , it is soft foods. So I am still on purée cause I cannot handle plop yet..I tried but my stomach said no.

For me purée could be thick but no chunks. Soft could have chunks. Check with your doctor. The thicker the food, the more satisfying it will feel and the longer it will last for you.

I'm not not on to puree yet, but i remember my nutritionist telling me that i could also have baby food during this stage. I think that'll be fine when it comes to the fruits or veggies, but if i recall, all other baby food (ie: peas and ham, mashed potatoes with beef) looks and smells gross.

Here are a couple of examples from my doc - every doc is different...If you have questions on what's allowed by your doc, you should call his office for clarification. My doc gives out handouts with every stage.

Cream of Wheat or oatmeal w/ skim milk

pureed lean meat, poultry or fish (blend w/ low fat cream Soup or broth)

pureed cauliflower or green Beans

pureed cottage cheese

pureed pears

blended Soups

soft scrambled egg (mix an egg w/ some milk or Water - it will make it soft)
