[Waist Management 2]

I am so glad I found this group/forum! I have already searched and answered most of my questions.

That being said, Thursday is my 2 week appointment and I am hoping I am cleared to move from liquids to the puree stage. Any favorite recipes out there that helped you get through this stage? Thanks in advance

I don't remember doing pureed. I think I did liquids for 3 weeks then to soft foods and regular foods. I still drink Protein Shakes.

I did pureed and I think it depends on your taste and whether the texture suits you. My faves were honestly just my family's dinner pureed. Best thing I ever tasted in my life was roast lamb with veg and gravy but blended to a babyfood consistency. Soup is good because you can just use a blender for any lumps - if you make your own add lentils or potatoes to thicken them up. Thin porridge with apple sauce.

Well done on getting to two weeks - that's the hardest part done for most of us. 😍

Have you heard about the ricotta bake. I had that practically daily during purée phase.

I didn't have a strictly pureed stage, but early on I did have a lot of refried Beans with cheese and fat-free Greek yogurt. I particularly like the Chorizo flavored beans.

Greek yogurt without fruit bits is great, too. I also liked the ricotta bake.

Another thing I tried was pureed buffalo chicken dip, made with just canned chicken, frank's hot sauce, and bolthouse yogurt ranch. It looked really weird but tasted good, You can also probably puree tuna fish with some mayo or Miracle Whip.

I love Buffalo Chicken Dip! Did they hot sauce sit well with your stomach, or did you use less than you normally would?
