Purée stage

[M&S 15]

What are some of the best things to have in this stage? Sticking a can of tuna in a blender doesn't sound too appetizing lol

I loved pureed tuna! Get some of those flavored packets of tuna, blend them with a tasty sauce or dressing (NOT Water or broth, yuck). Put it in a little ramekin, sprinkle some cheese on top, and heat it up in the microwave.

You can do the same sorts of things with chicken, turkey, salmon, shrimp, ground beef, pork, etc. -- whatever meats your program allows, of course. There are all sorts of delicious sauces and cheese to add in and make your meal taste like a casserole without all the carby crap.

Refried Beans, poached eggs, cottage cheese (with dressing or PB stirred in is really good), Greek yogurt, all worked well for me too.

Puree doesn't have to be liquefied....Just soft and the consistency of mashed potatoes

Refried Beans and top with grated cheese and/or sour cream and salsa. Ricotta cheese topped with a little Spagetti sauce. Egg salad. chicken salad. tuna salad. I was allowed soft scrambled eggs. Cottage cheese. ETC..

tuna mashed up with some avocado, and egg and with a squirt of Sriracha mayo is still one of my favorite lunches. Though now I eat it in a hollowed out Tomato

Keep going...there are great ideas. I was a lil afraid of cheese and anything too greasy not sure why. I'm in love with fat free turkey chili!

When were you allowed to start this stage?

[rescue4_u 5]

My puréed stage started 2 weeks after my surgery. Of course you should always wait and let your doctor tell you when yours starts. Self progressing your diet stages after surgery is NOT a good idea.
