recipes

i had surgery on 03-06-08 and now believe I should be eating pureed and creamy foods. I ate some canned cream soup and got really sick. How do I find recipes for pureed foods?

I am not really sure where to find recipes, but I did go online and find a turkey stew recipe and made that for my husband and then pureed it for me. It really wasnt too bad and I was getting meat, potatoes, celery and carrots all in one meal. Other things my dietian suggested were baby food without chunks or noodles or rice(I found beechnut goodmoring meal of oatmeal,bananas and peaches to be quite tasty for breakfast and am actually still eating it for breakfast sometimes), campbells split pea soup with ham, puree and strain after heating (I found that tasty) Potato soup pureed and strained( I would also add canned chicken for more protein), soupy mashed potatoes, oatmeal, cream of wheat and cream of rice all made a little soupy. Just be sure you are getting no chunks in anything. Luckily that phase only lasts one week. Hope this helps a little.

Are those the instructions that your surgeon gave you? I'd follow those and contact the nutritionist for advice on what should be prepared. There are recipes on here and one lady in particular, eggface, has a blog site too with recipes galore .. and if you just want to drool over things to chew, some gorgeous pictures of things she's come up with. In the meantime with the soup, your pouch might not be ready for it. Check the label for sugars and fats; they might be the culprit .. or you're just not ready for it. Hang in there, we are DEEP in a learning curve right now. Janice

I had my surgery on 3/7 and am still on liquids. Could it be that you are not ready for pureed. My doctor has liquids for two weeks (2nd week thicker) before moving to pureedand creamy foods. I would love to deviate,but so far its working.
