My surgery for gastric bypass is booked for 12 dec yey!

My surgeon said “that means purée for Christmas dinner!”.

I make Soups. Roast veggies in oven with avocado oil and tiny pinch salt. Carrots mushrooms broccoli cauliflower Tomato Most times I need two trays. I try different Protein. Easiest is a roasted chicken from supermarket. And while is is cooled down I devine and saute meat with onions and more avacado oil. Add roasted veggies ( two pots sometimes) add salt free broth( Campbell's ) and Water. Low salt Soyasauce, Hossein sauce , Worcester sauce. Simmer for 20 min. Let cool and use emersion blender and grind up. It if too thick add some more liquid. I track all my ingredients by weight and using my fitness tracker add to my recipes. It will tell you calories and Vitamins and protein values. To add portion size in tracker I weight total puree Soup and divide by 250( it equals a cup or portion. ). Then you can track can calories per amount y you eat. Healthier and you control salt and fat intake and will know calorie count. ( Most of my soups have 70-90 calories per serving. Sometimes it is a bit thick still I'll add water to thin out and make a bigger portion. 250X2 . Works with super soft well cooked roasted beef or stew. Avoid potatoes, ( starch turns to suger) good luck hope this inspires you .

Look up Youtube videos of the Ricotta cheese Bake! It seems to be one of the more popular puree recipes online as it tastes like you're having a cheat meal. I feel this is one way to enjoy yourself on a special holiday!
