Help with Pureed food!



Recommended Posts

So I'm starting pureed food this weekend. And I'm really confused as to what I can eat. On liquids I allowed, ricotta, apple sauce, yougurt, and Soups. So I'm not sure what pureed foods I am allowed. My nutrionist hasn't really given me much to go on for this stage.

I also would do it to chunky type of foods like Olive Garden's Zuppa Tascano (potato, sausage, and Kale) so that it would go down smooth etc. Stuff like the Kale would definitely get stuck, etc. Basically, you just make stuff mushy.

Perfect Chili Recipe

1 onion, chopped

1 green pepper, chopped

2 c. Beans (we like Kidney)

1 can Rotel

1 lb. ground turkey

3 16 oz. cans Tomato sauce

3 Tbs. chili powder (or more to taste)

2 Tbs. garlic powder

salt and pepper to taste

In a skillet brown the ground turkey with a little bit of the chopped onion and some salt and pepper. Drain and remove meat and set aside. Saute the onions and peppers in the skillet without cleaning it. In a large stock pot, place the ground turkey and the sauteed peppers and onion. Add tomato sauce and chili powder. Cook on medium heat for approximately 1 1/2 hours or so.

Heres a good bean dip recipe:

Ingredients:

Olive Oil

Fat Free Refried Beans

Black Beans

Chopped Onion

Chopped green and red pepper

Tomatoes

Salsa (if you want)

Reduced Fat Shredded cheese

Tofu (or you can substitute some lean meat)

Avocado

Brown the tofu (or meat...I'm a vegetarian so I don't add meat), onions, peppers and tomatoes in a large skillet until the veggies are floppy and the Protein is cooked (if you're using tofu, it will brown a little on the sides). Add the black beans and refried beans (drain some of the liquid from the black beans first). Add some salsa if desired. Stir everything together over heat until it is mixed. Top with the shredded cheese.

Cut the avocado in half and remove the pit. Serve the bean dip over the avocado and enjoy! This is great because you can portion it into 1 cup (or 3/4s cup or whatever) servings and freeze it.

For mushies, you can just throw the whole dip into the blender to make sure everything is super mushy. You can also puree the avocado (so its like a guacamole consistency) and eat it on the side.

Great source of Protein, complex carbs and healthy fat (in the avocado)!

One easy thing to puree is the rotisseree chickens at the supermarket. Just add a little chicken broth while you're pureeing. You can put them in an ice cube tray and freeze so you have little portions ready anytime.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
