Need great "Puree" foods ideas

My surgery is in the morning and when I return home Dr Averbach will have me on Puree foods for the first 2 weeks, but I have no good ideas. Any tasty puree recipes you'd like to part with?

Gina

bean soup
cottage cheese
ricotta cheese (with marinara or apple butter)
mashed crab with mayo and old bay
scrambled eggs with and without melted cheese
chopped liver (if you are so inclined)
refried beans with cheese


what's in your book from Dr. A?

Pureed egg salad
mashed potatoes and gravy
pureed chili
sugar-free pudding with protein powder mixed in
Also make sure you have sugar-free Popsicles on hand. They were a lifesaver for me.

Good luck tomorrow!

Gina,

You may have already left for the hospital, but hopefully you'll see this when you're back online.  Check out eggface's website http://theworldaccordingtoeggface.blogspot.com/.  She has some really great ideas for the pureed phase!

Pureed chix salad and tuna salad was on my list from the nutritionist.

I just made a broccoli Cauliflower casserole yesterday - perfect for purees - so soft and yummy.  PM if you are interested in the the recipe!  I love mushies all the time because I have "issues" still with small bites and chewing!

Chili is also my standby with Greek Yogurt for extra protein instead of sour cream! 

Can't go wrong with crabcakes or lowfat crabdip on a spoon either!

GINA I AM SO SO SO SO SO SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!!! I wish you all the best and WELCOME TO THE LOSERS BENCH BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!! YOU WILL LOVE YOUR RNY  ;o)
