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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
