About to enter the puree stage and need help.

[Stewness 0]

Hello all!!!

I'm about to enter the puree stage of my post op diet on Friday and was looking for some help/advice.

In the liquid stage, I'm able to get down about 8-11 oz of liquid for my "meals" no problem. I have a feeling that will change when I switch to purées. Any suggestions how much food I should be eating per meal?

Also, any suggestions for recipes and or shopping staples? I already stocked up on Greek yogurt but would love some suggestions on other staples. Plus I have only been able to find a handful of recipes online.

Any help or suggestions are appreciated.

I could do about 2 oz. in my pureed stage. I bought some little 2 oz. plastic baby food containers and used those to measure and store my food in. Here is a site that has some good recipes/suggestions for the pureed stage.... I mostly lived on cottage cheese, scrambled eggs, and the baked ricotta recipe from this site:

Edit: Here's a link to the containers I bought. I found them at my grocery store:

i think I could eat about a ¼ cup of food . I ate a lot of eggs, occasionally grits, hummus, cottage cheese and whatever I thought to put in the nutrabullet. I also did the baked ricotta, but I just made it like the filling for stuffed shells, topped with Tomato sauce and cheese and baked. I sometimes added a bit a pureed spinach.
