Soft/Pureed Recipes for strict doctor



Recommended Posts

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.

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.

@@Jaymmie Hengle Thanks for sharing these recipes!

I can't seem to find SF Carnation Instant Breakfast. Do you know if sugar free Carnation Instant Breakfast has changed its name to Breakfast Essentials No Sugar Added?

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
