Thanks so much! My pureed stage is combined with my soft food stage, but I love the idea pre measuring these out for the week. 1 starfishwish reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChaosUnlimited 559 Posted June 19, 2017 I just started purée also. I cooked boneless chicken in the crock pot until it was really soft, then puréed it with some of the broth, a tiny bit of Neufchâtel cheese and sour cream, and fajita type seasoning. I put a sprinkle of cheddar on when heating and it's really good. I found some glass custard cups with lids at Walmart, they are 4 oz, but they are perfect for measuring my portions and reheating. 2 Dabearo and Misha42000 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MTL 54 Posted June 20, 2017 3 wks post-op & I tried smoothies by adding a piece of fruit to my shakes: no bueno. I have been able to get an ounce of NF cottage cheese or 1 egg & keep it in so very bueno. I'm taking the reintroduction of foods very slowly. Just want to be able to tolerate an ounce of anything right now. And, I'm grateful, very very grateful.

I started my full liquids this morning and made 1oz of cream of wheat which was absolutely huge! I just picked at it and went very slow and didn't even make a dent in it. Just scared to go,overboard right now! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
katyyakyak 5 Posted June 21, 2017 My doctor and nut have me on 2 weeks liquid, 4 weeks purée(no cream of wheat or oatmeal allowed), then 4 weeks of soft foods (like oatmeal). It seems like most people are only on purée for 2 weeks. Is 4weeks normal for purée diet? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
