Pureed Food

My surgery is scheduled for Thursday, February 23, at 7:30 a.m.  I'm not concerned about full liquids during week 1 and 2, but I must admit that the pureed stage has me a bit worried.  Just the thought of pulverizing my food to the consistency of apple sauce sounds utterly disgusting.  I don't know what I will eat during that time.  Perhaps I will continue to eat the soup, sugar-free jello and sugar-free pudding and just skip over that phase.

I only pureed a couple of things because I didn't care for it either. I mostly ate cottage cheese, melted cheese, sugar-free pudding greek yogurt, refried beans, and eggface's ricotta bake. But some of these things may not be on your plan. I hope your surgery goes well.

I think I ate more "soft foods" during the puree phase. I'd mash a turkey meatball up and eat it with some sauce & ricotta to smooth out the texture. I ate chicken salad quite a bit, I ran the chicken though my Ninja and used mayo to help with texture. I also ate corned beef hash, oatmeal, etc. 

I never pureed anything either.  I stuck to RTD protein drinks, refried beans w/cheese, lite and fit greek yogurt, chili.

There wasn't really much I could have that I would want to puree, I could have had thinned out mashed potatoes and cream of wheat but I chose not to, too many carbs.

I'm not cleared for meats, cheeses or beans yet, so I stuck with health wise cream of tomato soup with a teaspoon of ricotta or cottage cheese, pickled eggs yolks, egg drop soup, won-ton broth, bone broths, yogurt and protein drinks. 

Like others have said, I never pureed anyhting.  The thought of pureed chicken is not appealing to me at all.  Lived on greek yogurt, protein shakes, and refried beans for a while.

I found that even though the food looked gross (pureed chicken, pureed beef) it tasted delicious :P 

Go here for pureed food ideas. Eggface is fantastic.

My program didn't have us puree either. We went from liquids to soft foods. But I'm with you. I'd gladly stay on protein shakes for a week, or two, or a month, before I'd put food in a blender.

I did not purée anything.

i did eat yogurt, pudding (made it myself with sugar free jello pudding mix, skim milk and some dry protein powder).

I made Baked Ricotta .... It is like the lasagna without the pasta.

I was allowed to have 'well-forked' tuna mixed with mayo. 

I was only eating about 1/4 cup at a time ..... So 1/2. Yogurt in the morning, 1/2 can of tuna at lunch and 1/4 cup of Baked Ricotta for dinner ... The other 1/2 yogurt for a snack.
