Recipes/Foods during the Purée Phase

[gresau1 10]

I would like to know what others ate during the purée phase. I begin this phase in 2 more days. Has anyone eaten grits during this phase?

I didn't do grits...I'm not sure I've done grits since before surgery.

During that stage, one of my go-to's was refried Beans with some melted cheddar topped with greek yogurt.

I liked canned chicken mixed with some light mayo, mustard and relish.

I think I did the ricotta bake in the puree stage

I ate and still eat a lot of scrambled eggs topped w/ cheese

All of the following are good pureed, or are already soft: Refried Beans with some sharp cheddar, cottage cheese, tuna and chicken salad, baked tilapia (on my plan), ricotta cheese topped with spaghetti sauce, Cauliflower pureed with chive cream cheese, oatmeal with some Protein powder/stevia/cinnamon.

Do you have separate puree and soft solid stages? Or are they combined as a step between full liquids and solids?

I just have one puree food phase that lasts one month. Then I start the regular solid food phase. Today was my first day on puree. I had a soft boiled egg, that was more like a runny egg. I will have refried Beans for lunch. I don't see how I can get in all of my Protein without continuing my Protein Shakes.< /p>

I just started this phase too and my nutritionist said I will probably have to supplement with shakes. I was also told 3 "meals" and 2-3 small Snacks

I did grits once with a little unflavored Protein powder and shredded cheese. Too many carbs for me. I also did oatmeal once or twice. They were a little better since I make my oatmeal from scratch. Here's some recommendations from my program.

I ate a lot of lentil Soup pureed with a scoop of unflavored Protein powder mixed in. One recipe I got off of here that was great was 1 small can of chicken 2 TBS of light ranch dressing 1 TBS of franks hot wings sauce(I used more sauce but I like things on the spicy side) and 2 TBS of blue cheese all pureed together it was like eating hot wings this was one of my favorite foods during that time. Another good one was fat free refried Beans, lean ground beef, salsa and a little bit a cheese pureed until like baby food.
