What is your favorite pureed food?



Recommended Posts

Hi fellow sleevers,

I am 10 days out and starting on the pureed food stage. Just wanted to know what your favorite pureed foods are/were. Thanks!

Refried Beans from a can is good......make sure to buy a brand name. I nuke and mash cauliflower and enjoy that. You'll find your faves but stay away from carbs. Good luck.

Seconding the refried Beans. First, I'm not a fan of sweet. Second, it's a dandy source of Fiber, which is lacking at this stage. I'm on soft foods now, and I still make sure I get in a 1/2 cup of refrieds each day, with a pinch of cheese on top.

Never did the puréed phase. Nothing about it appealed to me.

Just stayed on the liquids a couple weeks longer.

My favorite purée was my chicken 'baby food'. I oven roasted a package of chicken tenderloins after seasoning with salt, pepper, and garlic and onion powders.

Then I threw them in the pressure cooker with a box of good, unsalted chicken stock until they were falling apart.

Finally, to the food processor - I just kept adding more stock until the purée was nice and smooth, then spooned 1/4c portions into lined muffin tins and froze them.

I admit it: it does not look appealing, but damn it was a welcome flavor! It's also a lot of cleanup, but it will give you enough to get you through the entire purée stage, so you only have to do it once.

Thank you all for your replies. That does give me some ideas. I am so over the Protein shakes, sf popcycles, yogurt smoothies and Jello. I need some "real" food. The chicken tenders sounds like a creative solution. Kudos for the creativeness and the work you put into it CHMD. Sounds like a versatile recipe that you can modify, by adding cheese, sour cream, a little BBQ Sauce, etc. Definately getting refried Beans today and going to look up Shelly's Ricotta Bake also. I appreciate the feedback. May the force be with you all!

Tomato Soup gave me an enormous amount of energy. Great taste. This one probably not popular with many ppl here but barbacoa sits well with me. Just remember to chew, chew, chew. Refried Beans w cheese. Stay away from mashed potatoes just because..good luck!

Tomato Soup was the very first thing I dumped on. Read the labels and watch the sugar, or make it yourself! Lol [emoji4]

Modified huevos rancheros..... Refried Beans, melted cheese, soft scrambled egg and green chili sauce.

Second favorite.....pureed split pea Soup with unflavored Protein powder added.

Ricotta and cottage cheese mixture topped with spaghetti sauce and baked in a small ramekin for about 7-10 min was my favorite during puree stage.

I've been using seasoned chicken or starkist tuna creations and pureeing them with a little bit of light mayo. I've also been having a wedge of laughing cow cheese with it. I'm allowed a soft scrambled egg on purees as well.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
