Lapband..Starting Puree Friday..NEED HELP!
My name is Thomas.
I recently had the Lapband done Friday 1/28/11. This Friday, I begin the Puree Stage. I am very confused. I am a server and I need ideas that will make my shift easier for when I eat. I am aware about Split Pea soup, Squash soup, and Creamy Soups, which will be easy for me to heat up at work, however; I am unaware of what else is easy to make and satisfying. I googled ideas but I do not get many ideas. I am finally finishing my Clear Liquid Diet which has been unbelieveable! I am proud of myself for getting through it. PLease help if anyone has any suggestions.
Thank you! I have Chocolate Whey Protein. I am sure it will not affect the taste of my soup if I add alittle just to make sure I get the extra Protein I need. I plan on having at least one shake a day. I also want to try chicken or tuna salad. Is it best to make it as usual than blend it? Bad idea to get it premade from the store and blend it? with the celery in it etc.?
Thank you for your help!
Funny enough, I went to a baby shower on the weekend and asked about baby food
I was given this website. It's homemade baby food..try it out

Hi Thomas!
I just had my surgery on 1/24/11. I'm enjoying the Carnation Instant Breakfast Sugar Free pre-made shakes. I'm picky, and I love them! I just had some lovely tomato soup with cheese melted in it. I've also been enjoying refried beans with melted cheese, medium salsa, and a little bit of sour cream. Super yummy! Just like eating the dip with out the chips!
I can't wait for the mushy stage! Good luck and I hope this helps!

I know you mentioned you had the tomato soup with cheese. Are you on Puree now? or is there a differene between puree and mushy?
Thank yoy for your suggestion! =D
1st congrats on surgery. I found that if I cooked regular food. and mashed it in the blender or magic bullet that worked. Almost anything blends. Oe of my favorite meals was either chicken with mayo in the blender or chili in the blender with veggies. I stir fried the veggie and then blended them.
I then but them in easy carry containers and then took them to work with a teaspoon and this became no brainer meals.
Good luck.
