Tomorrow can start on pureed and really soft foods...I'm almost two weeks from sleeve surgery...need some food choices that are easy to puree and if I can have fruit how do I puree....

Hi skyeyes9520

Good luck on the pureed food...or baby food as I called it.

speaking of..try some baby food it has come along way. I found a veg and brown rice that was pretty good (just watch for hidden sugars) and try to find a high Protein content.

If that's not appealing for fruit: you should cook 1/3 to 1/2 cup of fruit with 2 tsp of Water. for a couple of minutes(straw, blue raspberry or peaches) or I lived on unsweetened apple sauce w/ cinnamon sprinkled on for flavour. Remember NO fibrous fruit eg. oranges or pineapples.

I think you can have cream of wheat, oatmeal (if instant no more than 10 grms of sugar) or a cold Cereal soaked in milk 'till it's mushy. Don't for get yogurt ( NO fruit bottom or chunky anything sugar and fat free) sugar free Jello ( I cheated with low fat cool whip ) you can't have jello without coolwhip...right. Sugar free pudding for another treat.

You should be okay with low fat cottage cheese. Try as well a poached egg.

For more purred stuff;Hummus is easy and quick...here are some recipes for Veggies >>1/3 cup of veg with 3 teaspoons of veg broth ( any veg into the food processor and blend for 2minutes it must be fine...remember baby food.

meat and fish ( ground beef and a soft fish like cod or salmon ) 1/2 cup cooked meat/fish in 4 tablespoons of broth or water. Blend until smooth. NO CHUNKS !! One last hint...use spices and herbs (they are your best friends) to make your food tastier.

One last hint make a more than you need to eat that meal and buy some little containers or even use ice cube trays to portion out your food and freeze it.It makes life so easy

here are a couple of sites for recipe ideas. I hope this helps

I have cooked chicken in the slow cooker which makes it really tender. I made ranch chicken in the slow cooker and paprika chicken. I use chicken thighs as they cook up softer and more moist then chicken breast. Made taco meat with ground turkey which I then pureed and topped with refried Beans and a little cheddar cheese. Pureed cooked cauliflower with sour cream and chives is really and goes down easy
