3 more weeks of liquid and pureed diet

I had my surgery a week ago and already I am tired of jello pudding and mashed potatoes. I tried pureed baby food and that was GROSS. Any one have any ideas to mix things up? Thanks Kelly

Hi Kelly My staple was cream of mushoom soup with what ever my hubby was having for dinner or what I wanted. Chicken pureed with poultry seasoning cream of chicken soup with mushroom. Pureed shrimp with old bay cream of shrimp, crab, etc... I had one of those cup warmers may havr taken an hour but soup stayed warm. Pepermint tea taste good hot, warm and cold (room temp) Baby food is for babies. except for bananas love them. My favorite protein drink was Wal Mart brand. If you can do milk (some cannot) add a 1/4 cup of powdered fat free milk to a cup of milk increases protein to 16 grams a cup (something like that) super milk. Add banana or sugar free chocolate, even peanut butter (more protein) Welcome to the losing side add one food at a time so you know what you can or cannot tolerate. Karen Duncan

Hi Kelly, I pureed up a few things and mixed them in with the mashed potatoes at times like: Chili, taco meat, stew, meat loag with a teaspoon of gravy so it wasn't real dry. I also had s/f jello, s/f pudding, s/f popsicles, low fat cottage cheese (I think). I was full really quick so it didn't take much.Good Luck...it'll beover soon and you'll be in soft foods.Congratulations!!! pat

Hi Kelly, I lived on the following: poached egg w/saltine (could have saltines because they melt on your tongue) slice of american or provolone cheese pureed split pea soup made with milk slice of americcan or provolone cheese pureed bean with bacon soup made with milk did I mention the cheese? hehehe a wet chicken or tuna salad made with canned chicken/tuna, light mayo and onion powder. Couldn't use celery or real onion until I was cleared to eat raw veggies cottage cheese I also took a hamburger and gravy and put in the blender with some water....tasted great at that point ricotta cheese mixed with cocoa and splenda I just approached it that I could eat anything (within reason - no sugar or high fat) if I could puree it in the blender with some water or chicken/beef broth) HTH Take Care, Terry

So you ate just a regular slice of american cheese while on pureed and liquid? OMG that would be such a treat. I am such a cheese lover too. Thanks for the suggestions kelly

Yes, I just made sure I chewed it really, really well. I didn't have any problems.

Baby food is just plain nasty!!! I also suggest the bean with bacon soup. Delish!! Also, can you have refried beans?
