help with puree foods

I had my surgery on sept 12 and I am on pureed foods any good idea's?

I went to Meijer (or local grocer) and picked up some baby foods, squash was my favorite, no meats, some peas, and some bananas, also I had low sodium cream soups that didn't have chunks, I did cottage cheese and mashed it with a potato masher, also I did wendy's chili in the blender but a warning, it don't look nice but tastes the same, and also I did a little bit of ground crumbled turkey meat with some mashed potatoes and gravy in the blender. Broths in mashed potatoes adds flavor and makes it palatable, also it was a challenge but you become creative to what your tastes and tolerance is. I could not do tuna or canned meats (dont eat either) so I did ground turkey and mixed it with what I mentioned above...also use some baby foods to mix with stuff in the blender. I found that V8 low sodium was extremely appealing warmed up. Hope this is some help to you Stacey W

Thank you so much I will give it a try... Brandie J

Brandie, My surgery was 3 years ago..I never did the puree thing. I just ate lots of "smooth" things and did fine. Yogerts, cottage cheese, mashed pot and gravy soups, protein shakes jello and puddings. Best of luck, Robin

Wow mashed pot sounds wonderful right now. So you had your surgery three years ago how are you doing? When you starting eating regular foods did you get sick??? I am afraid to get sick so I am trying to good right by the book. Thanks so much for your comment Brandie
