(Help!) Protein Puree Ideas

Could I have the pureed food reciepes also please?  I am looking towards an op date in Oct.  Thank you...Kim in Fontana

I add a dill pick spear, mustard and FF sour cream to my canned chicken.

tuna and cottage cheese with a shake of dry minced onion

Make your favorite chilli with beans and blend

take a can of beans and add hungarian goulash spices

take a can of beans and add stroganoff spices, mushrooms, FF sour cream
If you can handle ground beef or turkey try the above with that or take Canned Swanson chicken broth and tofu with the above spices. 

Tofu goes down very easy for me.


Thai tofu:
Thai Tofu Red Curry
Sauce:
1" fresh ginger grated                1"    root
garlic, 2 chopped                2    chopped
lime, zested                    1    lime   
Thai Kitchen Roasted Chili Red Paste        1    tsp
"light" or unsweetened coconut milk        1    C
shiitake mushrooms, stemmed & thin sliced    3    oz
basil, fresh, thinly shredded strips        1    C

Protein:
3 oz firm tofu cut into cubes

Pour 1 tsp oil in pan, add ginger and garlic.  Cook 30 seconds.
Add 3 oz tofu and cook for 1 minute.  Set aside in a bowl.
Add mushrooms to pot and saute 1-2 minutes.
Add everything else except basil to pot.
When heated through, ladel ½ C into a bowl, covering tofu and shrimp.
Top with shredded fresh basil. Soooo Goood!

Good luck,

Nicole...Hi Honey!!! I am still in AZ but saw your post here are a couple things that are good on the pureed hello...take a hard boiled egg mu**** up really good or put it In a mini food processor(m/p)  add enough mayo to moisten it and add 3-4 minced black olives. I can live on this stuff. Also puree a couple slice of ham ( not honey baked Use a M/P or your blender add 1/2 teaspoon onion (if you like it) 1 teaspoon dill pickle and enough mayo to moisten . yum.. tuna done the same way goes down really easy for me too. How did you cook the egg? I steam mine until the white is done (don't the the jelly stuff) and the yoke still runny and just mu**** up real good with a fork with salt and pepper if you like.
Miss ya, I will give ya a call after I get home. Oh and AZ is great right now. I forgot how much I love it here.

Love ya, JOY

Joy!
I am so glad you are having a great time!! As for eggs, I think its just eggs....they dont sit well with me, I tried them again this morning and I feel like CRAP! Ugh! Anyways, give me a call when you get back and have time!!

Love ya!

Whoooo-hoo, 13 pounds good for you!! Oh and the Fage yogurt at Trader Joe's is high in protein but if you like the sweet stuff you will have to add some SF syrup or fruit to it. I buy some every time I come off the hill. Fage is higher in protein because it is concentrated...this is the greek style yogurt.
Try chicken or tuna salad. Alot of has have huge taste changes after surgery. Oh, and Isopure clear protein drinks ...I think they suck.
Love ya, JOY

Hello I was wondering if you can drink liquid protein. The reason I ask is because I found a protein drink that is to die for. It is called Lean Body and it tastes wonderful. I have tried the vanilla and the banana creme. They are 40 grams of protein per container which is 17 ounces. This way you can drink it and it's one less pureed meal you have to eat. It has no sugar(it is sweetened with sucralose), only 9 carbs, and it is packed with vitamins and minerals. I know it also comes in chocolate but I don't know if it comes in any other flavors. It is about $4 each or $38 per case of 12. It sounds like alot but when I tried to buy it online it costed $54. I hope this helps. I am not sure how far out from surgery you are and I don't know how much protein you are supposed to have but no matter where you are this stuff is the bomb.

On a different note I was wondering how to get a weightloss ticker. I went to the sight and it said to put in a pin and of course I don't have one nor do I know how to get one. If you know how to get one will you please let me know I would greatly appreciate it.

Good luck on your quest for receipes and on your weight loss.

The pin number is a number you choose so you can go to your ticker and update your weight on it. If you do not know how to put it your signature you copy and paste the picture of it not the code. I hopt this helps. Sue

can you find them in a store? or is it only online? the banana creme sounds good!!

Yes you can find them at the vitamin shoppe. They are cheaper there and some stores let you sample before you buy. The banana creme is my favorite but the vanilla is good too. Again I haven't tasted the chocolate yet and I don't know if they have any other flavors.

Just curious as to whether or not you can tell me how to get a pin on the ticker site so I can get a ticker of my own.
 
If you could tell me how to get on this site to post something of my own I would appreciate it. I have just been posting on other peoples sites and I want to learn how to post on the  this site too.

Thanks in advance,
Michele
