Pureed Diet

I'm in the pureed phase and I am running out of ideas. Can you all make some suggestions of food that I can eat during this phase? Anything but babyfood beef. UGH!!

I'm eating: cottage cheese (1/4 cup) egg salad (6 hard boiled eggs, 1/4 c. non fat sourcream, 1/4 c. low fat mayo, season to taste, chop in food processor or magic bullet) tuna salad (same as above) Underwood chicken spread (ormake same as above with cooked chicken) split pea soup refried beans with non fat sour cream and a pinch of cheese cream of wheat (add non fat dry milk and 1% milk for more protein) v8 juice (helps me with pill taking) sugar free pudding or sometimes jello I've only been on it 6 days, and have 16 more to go, lol, so I hope I come up with more ideas too!! This site has a few more ideas as well: http://store.bariatriceating.com/puandsofo.html good luck and let us know if you have any good recipes - i am looking forward to some actual chewing soon Inky

i am making a omelet milk added with cheese. See i am allowed to eat fish and chicken .. shreadded up.. but also my band was on very lose due to the fact my stomach was in the esphogus (Hiatial hernia) that needed to be banded so it was already restricted down. My serving size is about 4 oz .. I am probally in the mushy stage.. i feel i never had the surgery either.. to be honest.. but i am eating less .. but i am not really losing nor gaining.. i would fix a yam with splenda brown sugar or make custard with splenda that is prety good.. cheese is my friend here.. beans r very yummy with cheese.. i must admit i went to taco bell and got pintos and cheese there i am sure they were loaded with fat but i was hungry and desperiate and i had no issues be well Lisa

I suggest getting some hearty soups, like beef vegetable or split pea with ham, and blending them up. They are great!

I loved mashed potatoes and cream of mushroom soup on top....and refried beans with blended salsa
