What did you eat during your puree stage?  I'm not very creative so i've been doing a protein shake/yogurt for breakfast, canned tuna for lunch and dinner.  I use sugar free jello as snacks. I need some ideas/recipes as this is getting boring.  Please help.  Thanks

As Barbara stated that is a very good web site. My favorite on there is the ricotta bake. Some of the things I  ate during the puree stage: scrambled eggs with melted cheese and topped with blended salsa, cream of wheat, canned chicken mixed with mayo, pureed chili topped with cheese and sour cream. For the chili I made my own, ladled out mostly beans and meat with a little of the juice and blended it in my blender or food processor. I froze it in ice cube trays and put in freezer bags. each cube is 1/4 of a cup. Just pop em in the microwave and wala....dinner is served:) Also sugar free Popsicles.

I also love the ricotta bake and still occasionally fix it.  Also if you like cottage cheese, you can add sweetner and have it on a canned pear, in it's own juice.  I loved refried beans with cheese and light sour cream.  When I could, later, I added onoins and black olives...still love it!  I had to do, and still do soft cooked microwave eggs with cheese.  I still have trouble with scrambled eggs cause they're rubbery.  If you like hot cereals, they fit into the puree stage too.  Good Luck!
