Favorite Purée foods?



Recommended Posts

Hi all, I'm sure you're all asked about this a bit, but I also just wanted to talk lol. I've been feeling pretty good and my surgeon cleared me for puree foods today, I was so excited. Well I found myself at KFC getting mashed potatoes for lunch then Taco Bell getting mushy Beans with nacho cheese and sour cream. I am pretty sure this wasn't what my surgeon had in mind, but I've been so over liquids and Soups I wanted something different.

Does anyone have any tasty recommendations for their puree stage that were quick and easy to grab? Or stored well once prepared?

I made a ricotta bake and portioned into tupperware and froze. Portioned things for smoothies and froze so that I could pull out and blend and go. Made cheddar, broccoli and cauliflower Soup and froze into portions etc. I meal prepped for the whole 2 weeks on puréed, in one day and froze everything. There are many great recipes on Pinterest for all the Bariatric diet stages. Oh and eggs. I ate eggs until I couldn't eat eggs anymore! I literally despise them now.

I did quite a bit of canned chicken with nonfat mayo added to it and some salt, pepper, and garlic. It was one of my favorite things, plus you get a lot of your Protein that you need with the chicken.< /p>

I also liked nonfat refried Beans with light sour cream and a couple dashes of hot sauce, mashed sweet potatoes, and Egg Beaters, which are great because they are high in Protein and fat free.

My plan says that eggs are in the "soft food" stage, but you guys can eat them during the pureed stage?

Yes, I was allowed to have scrambled eggs during the pureed phase. But I couldn't have hard boiled eggs until the soft stage, which is where I am now.

I ate pate, low-fat goat cheese, bruschetta, eggplant spread, hummus, and more. I was so happy to be off liquids that I only wanted delicious things. costco also carries these Beans in the refrigerated section that were a lifesaver. They are fresh, not canned, organic, and come in multiple delicious flavors.

I love plan puréed chicken or turkey. You can add a little BBQ Sauce, or ketchup or mayo. Delicious! My doctor and his nutritionist says fat free mayo is high in sugar, so they say to use regular mayo.

I'm curious during the purée phase can you basically take anything healthy and blend/puree it? My day is 12/16 so will still be several weeks till then but was just curious?

      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.
