what was the first thing you ate on the puree diet?i

I start the puree diet tomorrow and thought it would be interesting to find out what everybody tried for their "first bite" and how it went? Also... what was your favorite thing during the different stages?

Cottage Cheese. It went fine but to be honest with you I ate so much cottage chees, refried beans and cheese, and turkey chilie for so long I am sick of it now! LOL

Taco Bell Beans & Cheese and even now, 6 years later, I remember how incredibly good they tasted. I then moved on to adding the meat from a taco to them and it was pure heaven. Ricotta cheese with tomato sauce, cottage cheese with strained salsa, pureed canned soup, egg salad.  I ate alot of mashed up eggs with lowfat mayo. It was something that sat very well with me. 

That should get you started.  Make sure you take your time, no matter what you go with. Small bites and slowly.  Put your fork/spoon down between bites.  It forces you to eat slower. Good luck.

I ate a lot of greek yogurt and I still do. I also did the predone pureed soups. Just remember to take it slow and easy, and introduce one new thing at a time. Incase something doesn't agree with you, you will know what it is. Good luck, and welcome to the wild ride.

Im trying to remember what the first things i ate were, as it was so long ago, LOL I think it was cottage cheese i was just grateful to chew, LOL then i moved on to refried beans (which btw im sick of those) chicken salad, yogurt, tuna,

When i got to  soft foods my favorite thing was still chewing, but my food was whole!! lol  Good Luck trying new things!!

The first thing I ate in the puree stage was refried beans and cheese.   My fav was baked Riccotta Cheese from theworldaccordingtoeggface (recipe below).  Very yummy!  I also loved Wendy's Chili!  Lots of protein and easy on the pouch! Grits and cream of wheat are still my favs too! 

Shelly's Baked Ricotta

8 oz of Ricotta Cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
1 large Egg, beaten
1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
salt & pepper to taste
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce
1/2 cup shredded Mozzarella Cheese

Mix ricotta cheese, parmesan, beaten egg, seasonings together and place in a oven proof dish. Pour marinara on top and top with mozzarella cheese. Bake it in the oven @ 450 for about 20-25 minutes (best) or nuke it till hot and bubbly. I usually made it first in the oven and heated the leftovers in the microwave.

For a sweet Italian fix:

Mix ricotta cheese and SF Torani syrup for a mock cannoli filling.
