Thanksgiving Puree



Recommended Posts

I'm thinking split pea Soup for Thanksgiving. I'm not sure why this feels Thanksgiving - maybe because it was one of those left over meals my mom always made. A Thanksgiving themed Protein Shake is also a must - pumpkin, Kale, banana or Sweet Potato Pie made with cinnamon bun whey protein. Any other ideas / recipes?

A purée turkey and gray would probably still taste good, And maybe sweet potatoes or mashed potatoes, green bean casserole and cranberry sauce.

When I was on purees food I was able to mince some turkey/chicken and mix it with my mashed potatoes and gravy. My mom makes a wetter stuffing so if you do that it would be easy to eat.

I plan on taking a bite of each food starting with turkey.

If I can't eat after turkey, then I can always put my plate in the fridge and save it!

I feel like I'm becoming the queen of leftovers

Turkey with gravy makes a great purée! Mashed potatoes are a purée already (just go easy because of the carbs).

And don't eat too much! We had our pot luck this week. Although I ate only a tiny bit of turkey, a teeny spoonful of potatoes, and a small bit of dressing with gravy, I thought I was going to die most of the evening. Not from being too full... The food was just too rich for me. :(

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
