My favorite thing was pureed taco beef and refried Beans. I ate it almost every meal for months before I got tired of it.

Here's the recipe:

I made a greek seasoned ground lamb/beef and onion, which I pureed with greek yogurt and feta with a touch more greek seasoning. It was awesome.

I'm not sure if this was a good idea, but I pureed half of a Lean Cuisine. It was so good!

My doctor told me that tuna with a little mayo and mustard or whatever seasoning is good. I also just like having a lot if different creamed soups! If you add your own blend if spices it makes them a little more exciting. Also cottage cheese is good and refried Beans with some cheese

My doc said refried Beans are a no no. I see a lot of people posting refried beans but they are highly processed and high in fat correct?

My doc allowed scrambled eggs. Eggbeaters are good too. Eggs were a lifesaver because Soups really had me bummed out! I would also cook some chicken up in a skillet then throw it in the food processor with some chicken gravy. Once you get past the visual it's really quite tasty!

Scrambled eggs, homemade chicken Soup blasted in a blender. My surgeon allowed white, flaky fish so I had lots of that. Baked Beans were also allowed. Do a search for ricotta bake here, I've heard it's mighty tasty! Cottage cheese and egg whites with pickle relish.

Be well…

I'm lazy so I am just going to copy and paste an earlier post I made:

I was on full liquids for four weeks after surgery (and true liquids, not this "yogurt is a liquid, pudding is a liquid" stuff). So after four weeks of that, pureed meat tasted great to me! The trick for me was to puree it with a flavorful sauce, NOT broth, stock, or Water -- then heat it up in the microwave with some cheese melted on top. It tasted just like a casserole type dish. I mostly used canned meats, or the meat you can buy in the little single serving pouches. The flavored ones were especially good. Some of my favorites:

thai spicy tuna pureed with Sriracha sauce and pepper jack cheese melted on top

chicken pureed with BBQ Sauce with cheddar cheese melted on top

lemon dill salmon pureed with tartar sauce

shrimp pureed with remoulade and pecorino cheese melted on top

turkey pureed with peanut satay sauce and jack cheese melted on top

chicken pureed with marinara sauce and mozzarella cheese melted on top

turkey pureed with light chipotle mayo and sugar free pickle relish and Laughing Cow chipotle fresco cheese wedge melted on top

teriyaki salmon pureed with teriyaki sauce (I don't recommend cheese with this but if I had to, I might try some blue cheese)

Good luck!
