KamiDP 2 Posted May 14, 2015 Hello All i need a little help coming up with some recipes for my pureed/soft food stage of my diet. My doctor is a lot stricter than some others. My Pureed/Soft food list is: eggs, Beans (Hummus), Dairy (Cheese, Ricotta, Cottage, Greek Yogurt, Milk), Seafood, Poultry, Deli meats (no sugar, no rind) No: Fruits, veggies (potatoes, salsa, Pasta sauce), nuts, beef, pork, carbs (bread,crackers, rice, pasta), Soup, sugar Does anyone have any good ideas for something this strict. I already thought about ground chicken, ground turkey, deviled eggs, eggs with turkey bacon and cheese, egg salad, tuna salad, deli turkey with hummus maybe. All ideas welcome. My Mom is an amazing cook so she is thinking on this one as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Miss Mac 6,262 Posted May 14, 2015 When I pureed my Beans, I used refried beans and added a little bit of sour cream and melted shredded cheddar. I saved the salsa for abour six weeks out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Inner Surfer Girl 12,015 Posted May 14, 2015 I think they are the same thing. I order mine from Drugstore.com. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TEXASLADY52 264 Posted May 14, 2015 At first thin your refried Beans to soupy stage. Then add some cheese. This makes it lots easier to eat for the first time. I ate lots of Soup during the puree and soft food stage. It has no nutrition value and I know carbs.....but when I was wanting something and was not tolerating food good...I made a package of flavored instant potato.....made it thin to soup stage......it was so good!

KamiDP 2 Posted May 15, 2015 I cannot have Soups, veggies, fruit, vegetable juice, pork or beef in this stage. Only cheese, dairy, Beans, poultry, fish, shellfish, eggs So all the Soup and veggies would be great but my doctor does not support that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Inner Surfer Girl 12,015 Posted May 15, 2015 Since you are so limited in what you can have you may just need to eat individual foods (rather than recipes/combinations). Ex. Yogurt, turkey/cheese roll ups, cottage cheese, etc. Can you use herbs, spices, and seasonings? Can you do grilled or baked fish or shrimp? Since your surgeon is so strict maybe your NUT can provide you with some ideas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KamiDP 2 Posted May 19, 2015 Yes I can have fish and seafood of all kinds. Last night I did some Tilapia in the oven with onions, red pepper, butter and thyme. And I removed the veggies and ate just the fish. I still can only eat about 1 - 2 oz at a time right now. Saw the NUT yesterday and she just says individual things as well. Thanks.

Mary Jane T 44 Posted May 19, 2015 Ok I was following this topic and now I wonder. Does everything have to be puréed ? I have a real texture issue. I don't like wet foods like gravies and any kind of condiment. I scoop Soup out with a slotted ladle and then eat it with a fork. Would I be able to live on things like yogurt (which I love) during this stage?? Taking real foods and mushing them makes me want to barf. Lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dsheive 100 Posted August 6, 2015 I fell in love with scrabble egg with ricotta cheese...cook the egg soft add ricotta much with fork...now my face breakfast.....turkey meatball blend with must catsup. Taste like a burger. Strain s/w Soup blend the hearty parts (add some broth) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dsheive 100 Posted August 6, 2015 I thought the same thing but by the time you are done with liquids you will eat anything!..and it really tastes good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
