Shelli, I have done chicken (canned) with the magic bullet blender. Best thing I found to grind stuff up. I added a small amount of mild salsa to the chicken and kept turning it on till it was smooth. I still have 2 days till I can eat pureed, but wanted to practice.

Chicken or tuna in Water should blend the same, but larger blenders wont do it too well. Hope this helps...Dave:bounce::bounce:

Shelli, I drain off almost of the Water, but save a little to keep it moist. If I am mixing anything else with the meat (salsa), I drain off all of the water. I wasted a little when practicing on how long to mix, but am getting better. I will be a pro when I can eat this in 2 days...Dave

if its a food that is canned or packed in liquid you can probably drain alot of it off. But I would save it just in case you do need to add it. A couple tablespoons of liquids can really help if its a dry food. I went through this with my kids as I resisted buying canned baby foods as much as possible. I found that If i kept on hand a can of broth in a plastic container in the fridge Adding a bit to dry meats did the trick. Or a spoonfull of lemon, lime, fat free miracle whip or mayo, even ranch dressing or cheese Soup depending on the food.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
