I made a cauliflower/cheese Soup that was delicious pureed.

I also ate applesauce, Greek yogurt, smoothies, etc. I couldn't stand the texture of pureed meat. I just waited for soft foods for that.

My doctor allowed canned tuna, salmon, and chicken in the pureed stage. Find a recipe for Ricotta Bake - a lot of people rave about that. Refried Beans and guacamole. Hummus. Personally I love Indian food and a lot of their dishes are in pureed form.

Can you share your Soup recipe, please?

Have you checked the food and nutrition forum? There are some pureed ideas. Also, Pinterest.

I ate a lot of Soups, yogurts, scrambled eggs, cottage cheese and various stews. My favorite was zucchini stew.

Those all sound good! I’m day 5 post op right now and am having trouble even keeping Water down. Very nervous right now, as i feel worse today than any day so far.

This is the one I used: https://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/cauliflower-soup/

I didn't make a roux, instead I used a suggestion that someone mentioned in the comments and used coconut milk mixed with a little (maybe 1T) cornstarch to thicken. After it was cooked, I used a stick blender to puree it. There were still a few small chunks, but the veggies were very soft, so no problems.

Experiment with water daily. It may be temperature, or texture tap vs. Bottled. Flavor vs plain. I'm almost at week 4 and my water intake changes every few days because I have to change it up to make my body accept

I'm in it right now in fact. I've had apple sauce, blended plums, pureed vegetable Soup and turkey chili, miso soup with soft tofu and a salmon mousse, which admittedly may have been a little premature. I also went to an Italian deli, bought a meatball with tons of sauce and blended that as well. It was actually not bad.

Wow! Aren't you an adventurous soul!

Yeah, I should probably ease into it more than I am doing right now. I feel like I'm a mad scientist testing things out, and my friend told me I sound like one of those YouTube channels that asks "Will it blend?"

I am pumping the breaks a bit more as the week progresses. Currently I'm having slow bites of tuna salad. Like a nibble and walk away, one taste at a time.

Can I ask, what kind of food stage schedule does your doctor use? I had surgery on 9/10 and I’m supposed to be on Clear Liquids until 9/24, puréed 9/25-10/8, adaptive/soft 10/9-12/9. Seems like such a long time but I’m sure he has set it this way for a reason. At least now I understand why the other people at my meetings were complaining about just wanting a salad SO badly! Lol

My favorite thing so far and I am,on pureed meats. and the rest,of stage 3. Musselmans unsweetened applesauce, far superior to Motts, which has a bitter aftertaste. I would not,have,thought, but 3 saltines, each,with a teaspoon of p-butter counts as a meal. Who,would have thunk?
