Puréed Stage: what are you eating?

Elle09 · May 21, 2016

I made egg salad and it was pretty good and tolerable. Also turkey chili, cauliflower Soup using riced cauliflower and blended Beans to use as a base with some bone broth added. I am slowly experimenting to keep the next few weeks interesting. My NUT encouraged us to stay away from baby food and we were given an extensive list and ideas of what we should eat going through the nutritional classes.

@@Marissela We were told to be careful with baby food. Some have alot of sugars and very little Protein.

Puréed cauliflower cheese (includes boiled eggs in the purée). It's liquid gold. I portion it out into silicon muffin tray molds, freeze it and then deposit the frozen pieces into a container, so I know each piece is 120ml. I could eat it for every meal. Haha. I drink Protein shakes to up my Protein intake. They are nasty, but it's good for me.

I'm still pre op, but we recently bought a Brezza baby food maker that steams and blends in one step for our 9 month old. I'm totally planning on using it for the puree stage. The instruction book has some great recipes and I'm sure their website has some great ideas. There are a lot of combinations I wouldn't have considered such as a turkey prune puree and other interesting combos. It's great because you can put veggies and raw Protein and cook it all together.

I'm still pre-op, so I'm only planning... but I am hoping to be able to add unflavored Protein powder to grits and eat those when I get to the pureed stage. Maybe you can do the same with your Cream of Wheat?

FYI Grits aren't allowed post- op as they continue to expand while in your sleeve. Just wanted yu to have a backup plan! ????

I can't preview this, so I hope I've clicked the right button. No set recipe. It's just cauliflower and boiled eggs with a cheese sauce. I used 2 heads of cauliflower, 12 boiled eggs and used a litre of milk in my cheese sauce (there's a recipe here that's roughly similar. http://allrecipes.com/recipe/233481/cheese-sauce-for-broccoli-and-cauliflower/)

This makes A LOT, but I just wanted to do it in one hit and freeze a bunch. We used to have it weekly (unpureed) for dinner growing up, so it's probably why I love it so much. I'm now on soft foods, so I've been adding some well cooked vegetables chunks (pumpkin and peas) into the purée.
