Hey Everyone, i am finally on the losing side. I am 40 lbs down. Possible? or is my scale off? Anyway i just am confused of what to eat now. I can eat soft foods, but dont know what to eat anymore any suggestions? please help.. Roe

I am at the same stage as u 3 weeks out: I am eating: tuna salad made w/ lo fat mayo, chicken salad very finely chopped celry and chicken w/ lo fat mayo, eggs salad.....i also make in the micorwave skim milk ricotta cheese, Skim milk mozzerellla, little red sauce and eat.....Mashed potatoes, soups all blended up been doing a locarb lo fat cheddar cheese w/ broccoli and cheese soup! I been enjoying everything i eat and nothing makes me sick yet. LISA HOPE THOSE suggestions help u some! All high protein!~ I also eat carb countdown yogurts. and lo fat cottage cheese.

My friend told me to try ricotta cheese with some cinnamon and a pack of splenda.. Tastes just like Italian CheeseCake.. Enjoy.. ~Hugs~ Cathy

Cream of wheat, Carb control yogurt, cottage cheese ~ and don't forget your protein shake!

RoseMarie, Hun I am in the same boat as you, I am doing: Tuna w/ reduced fat mayo Shrimp with mayo, celery and scallons Crab meat with mayo, celery and scallons Low fat Cottage Cheese I am also making a dessert with low carb, no sugar vanilla yogurt mixed with my chocolate protein powder with a lil dab of Cool Whip Free. Also I was given some soups and drinks from my surgeons office that offer 15 grams of protein. Thanks Gail...~hugs~ I am enjoying them! I still have 4 more weeks of this....eeekkkkkk... I am very unsure myself hun and learning as I go...... I wish you the best....~hugs~ Debra P

I'm really struggling with this puree diet too...I'm not a seafood eater, and most "blended" food sounds gross at this point! I'm doing the cottage cheese, yogurt, Carnation Instant, etc, but all the milk is starting to get to me! The diet I have says I can have creamed corn - do I still have to blend that too? I'm not eating enough, and I know it, but it's darn hard to do when you're feeling totally over this pureed stage! lol.... Anyway, glad to hear you're on the losing side and doing okay. I'm so glad you asked the question on what to eat before I did....now I get to just listen to the answers! I don't know if your scale is right or not - the speed you lose often correlates to where you start....if you have a great deal to lose you lose faster in the beginning. Best of luck to you!

WOW debra we sound like were eating similar!!!! I will next time put the scallions in my chicken salad and tuna was afraid to...but if your doing well with it im gonna try it . LISA

Roe, I'm 4 weeks out...and pureeing away!!!! I really like any kind of beans pureed, with pureed onion, and ff cheddar melted on top...yummy...I brought it for fathers day yesterday with black beans, and everyone liked it (they dipped theirs in nachos) I had mine with 3 melba toasts. I also like egg beater/egg whites...with a little chopped broccolli and ff cheddar. I made a crepe the other day with egg whites, then mixed a little part-skim ricotta with splenda and rolled it up. Also, beef broth, with a piece of alpin lace swiss on top. Tonite...I'm making in the crock pot, chicken, onions, carrotts, chicken broth, and I'll blend mine well. Hope this helps, Janean
