Measuring food during Pureed stage
Hi there,
I'll be having my surgery in a couple weeks. But I'm preparing food now for the pureed stage.
I have bought some soup for after, but mainly vegetable soup. I'm pureeing chicken separately and freezing it. How do I measure or the chicken/protein ? I would thaw out the chicken and measure it per grams and add it to the soup/pureed vegetable, is that correct? Or is there any need to measure out the protein during the age? In our binder it says to.have about 60-80 grms of protein.
I'm nervous because I don't want to do anything wrong.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Jen
Early out, a can of soup was like 3-4 meals, lol. Don't over buy. I threw out most of what I picked up because my taste buds changed and I had no interest in any of it. I use myfitnesspal to get protein content on foods if they're not listed.
I'm not sure if that entirely answers your question, but I found that VERY early on my biggest struggle was to get my water in, not the protein. Good luck!

I don't know I haven't had it as yet.i tried a tiny bite when I pureed it it taste like roast chicken (quiche it was). My surgery is not for two weeks so the pureed stage is not for a while
