Pureed Foods?

First of all, let me say a big THANK YOU to all of you all that posted to my last message ("10 days post-op...Depressed). It really did get me through a hard time by reading all of the encouraging words. Now for my next question. Next week I begin the "Pureed Foods" phase for 2 more weeks. I'm excited about expanding my eating options, but I'm a little turned off by "blending my food to smooth consistancy". Another option they gave was buying baby foods....blah. Does anyone have any good suggestions to help me "enjoy" this portion of my recovery. Thanks again! Jennifer - 17lbs since morning of surgery

Refried beans w/ mild picante sauce, lite sour cream and a little cheese.....mmmmmmm

Oh and on a silly note---- My Hubby was told about this guy that broke his jaw, so he could only eat pureed stuff. He would takje a few slices of pizza, put them in a blender, and add beer and blend till smooth..... can you say EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

Darlene, I second your "EWWWWWWWWWW"!!! I can't even imagine how gross that must have been! Jenn

Actually a good tasting soup that is blended is pretty good. I remember enjoying it a lot when I was in that phase. Now baby food is indeed blah, yuck. Sandy

I do not know what to tell you. It is not easy. Just wish I was at where your at....so I could loose the weight so much faster. I suggest doing what the dr. advises...if they say baby food...eat baby food. This phase will pass....and then you will be wishing you were losing as fast as you have been again.

Ive actually heard that baby food blended in with some mashed potatoes is kinda good. Turkey falv mashed potatoes and such... Baby food is high in fat and sugar though, so watch what you buy if you try the whole baby food thing. There are a billion ideas for cottage cheese if you like that.

I've heard you can blend up almost anything in those Magic Bullet things. Another group I am in raves about them. Pureed foods has to be better than liquids! Patsy
