I puréed the heck out of all kinds of Soups, stews, chili, Beans, etc. puréed was a pretty easy stage except when I was doing a lot of canned soups because it was a bit much in the sodium department. But if it was homemade stuff, then all was well.

I did both...pureed a bunch of Soups, cooked veggies, and tuna fish. But also ate refried Beans, soft scrambled eggs, soft cheeses, mashed potatoes with unflavored Protein Powder, guacamole, hummus and tons of plain Greek Yogurt flavored with Protein powder. And of course continued with my Protein Shakes.< /p>

I was told to eat between 1,000 and 1,200 calories a day . At least 60 grams of Protein at least 60-80 grams of carb and no more than 140 grams of carbs.

Awesome! I did exactly that- picked out potatoes and also tomatoes which was easy cause they were in huge chunks. And now I've got 6 meals in the freezer ready to go. Should have done more, but I ran out of little teeny 3oz containers. Love the idea of being prepared with healthy and suitable options though!
