Pureed Food Stage Ideas

Today I start pureed foods for the next 2 weeks.  I'm at a loss and need some ideas.  I know I can have creamed potatoes and sweet potatoes.  I've bought cottage cheese and SF strawberry preserves to try.  I AM SICK OF PUDDING AND JELLO!    The thought of pureed meat makes me gag and I'm not sure about the vegatables.  I did get some fruit in light syrup to puree and some applesauce.  Last night, I tried Ragu sauce w/ mozarella cheese melted on it....WONDERFUL!  Any ideas or suggestions would be great!!

go to "theworldaccordingtoeggface" she has some awesome ideas

Thank you!!!

I'm still on the full liquids, but I've heard of people doing Wendy's chili or even their chili cheese potatos. I've heard of people doing things like wonton soup or even vegitable beef soup. Star Kist tuna has frozen fish now that you steam in your microwave (like the healthy sensations from Long John Silver's), but you might want to wait for the ground food stage for that. I get to add scrambled egg whites and mashed potatoes along with stage 1 baby foods, vegitarian fat free refried beans, & cottage cheese when I get to my pureed food stage.

I am 7 days out today and yesterday was the first day I was able to get in all 48oz of fluids including my 12oz protein shakes and my vitamins in. I haven't really been able to get in any food though. I did get in 1/4 cup banana pudding and 1.5 oz runny strained refried bean "juice". Sounds gross, I know, but I didn't want anything sweet. I've heard of people adding things to greek yogurt to make it savory, but I don't know what they added.

That sounds good.  I actually had some ragu last night and it was AWESOME!!!

Congrats,now here is something i did. Fred Myer and other grocrie stores carry soups in cardboard boxes that are pureed.  They are veg ones that i liked also my fav. was acron squash.  Health food stores also carry some.  Good luck,Connie

Hadn't thought about that.  I will look at Walmart and see what they have...if anything.

Yes I agree less money.

i came home from the hospital on purree...i only wanted to eat thigns that were close to that stage already..so i ate scrambled eggs, with ham and cheese...i made tuna salad with mircle whip and pickle juice...egg salad with mircle whip and pickle juice...i was on it for 2 weeks..and that is what i ate....the first few days i was putting them in my ninja..but after about a week.i just make sure they were really mixed up really well and ate them that way...i also ate applesauce....boy was i glad to get off that stage..but at least i caame home eating from the hospital....on my scrambled eggs, i would make a bit up and then eat on it for a day or 2..all day long...but i did have hubby get some con queso cheese dip from my favorita mexican place and when i re heated my eggs in my ramikin dish, i added just a littel of that cheese and boy was nice an moist and very easy going down..and had a hint of mexican to it...was very nice..

have a great day

Oh that sounds good.  I'm not hungry which is good but I just want something solid or semi-solid.  Doctors are sooo different!  I haven't been on liquids for 2 weeks.
